KENYA AIDS NGOS CONSORTIUM

KANCO is a leading national membership network organization in Kenya with membership drawn from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs), PLHIV support organizations, learning institutions, and the public and private sector.
