In August, we gathered representatives from each of our partner organizations in Nairobi, Kenya, for a week of collaborative learning, sharing, engaging, and relationship building. This was our second annual Partner Summit, designed to create opportunities for our partners to share ideas, experiences, and victories. Hear directly from our partners about what this time meant to them:

In addition to technical sessions, each of our partners shared lessons they’ve learned so that the others can modify and apply the strategies that make sense in the context of the communities where they each work. Throughout the week, we focused on ways our organizations can adapt to change in ever-changing environments.

We are always amazed and inspired by the important and heroic work our partners do every day at the community level to end the HIV/AIDS and water crises, and we are so grateful for their shared enthusiasm for this time to learn and grow together.
