This study seeks to Determine the profile of respondents in terms of A) NGO employees i) Age, ii) Gender, iii) Educational level, iv) Position. B). NGO Beneficiaries i) Age, ii) Gender, iii) Parental status, iv) Marital status, Determine the extent of NGO’s prevention and management of HIV/AIDS among children in Kilungu District, Eastern Province, Kenya, Determine the extent to which children with HIV/AIDS benefit from the services of NGOs, Establish whether there is a significant difference in the extent to which children with HIV/AIDS benefit from NGO services according to age, gender, and parental status and Establish whether there is a significant difference in the level of HIV/AIDS prevention and management between BIDII and ICAP. The study employed a descriptive comparative survey and a cross sectional and exposit-facto design. Using staff (51) and beneficiaries (116) of two NGOs (ICAP and BIDJI) sampled purposively, the researcher used a self-made questionnaire to collect data, which was analyzed using frequencies percentage distributions, means, t-test and One Way ANOVA. The findings indicated that most NGO staff belonged to the age group of 20-39 years (75%) and for beneficiaries 5-loyears (42%), most respondents both NGO staff (55%) and beneficiaries (62%) were male; for staff, diploma holders (52%) dominated the sample, most employees were field officers (78%), most employees belonged to ICAP (55%) and most beneficiaries had only mother (50%). The activities of NGOs in prevention and management of HIV/AIDS were found to be fairly satisfactory (overall average mean = 2.87). The level of benefits from the NGO services was high (average mean = 3.90). There was a significant difference in the perceived benefit between male and female beneficiaries (t= -7.928, sig. = 0.000). There was a significant difference in the benefits received by children of different age groups (F = 2.720, sig. = 0.000). There were significant differences in benefits received according to parental status (F = 12.720, sig. = 0.000). Results also indicated a significant difference in the level of prevention and management of HIV/AIDS between ICAP and BID11 (all sig. values < 0.05). The researcher concluded that NGOs activities in prevention and management of HIV/AIDS are fairly satisfactory but the level of perceived benefits from NGO services is high. Female beneficiaries are more likely to benefit more from the NGO services compared to male beneficiaries. Young children receive more support from NGOs. Children with only mothers receive more support from NGOs. BIDIT’s support services are more satisfactory than | en_US |
