Answer 2

Well Nono! Most people working in HIV/AIDS projects in Kenya are volunteers. As a foreigner it's best to work with government or UN affiliated organizations. Contact them, they'll help:

Answer 3

There are millions of NGOs working with youth and AIDS project. Camp David Centre in Mombasa (www.campdavidcentre.org) is one of them. Others are nyumbani.org, Catholic relief services.
Camp David Centre has special programmes for HIV/AIDS patients and you could visit their website for more info.
I know many other similar organisations in Mombasa alone (where I stay), but most do not have websites so the best place to get good information is government sources Ministry of Social Services or s'th like that.
