Tackling HIV and Malaria

ACT AGAINST MALARIA

Every year, malaria claims more than 1 million lives, while HIV/AIDS kills 2 million people. Developing countries such as Kenya are the hardest hit. We have therefore developed programs and policies to tackle these diseases through prevention and education for our employees and local communities

"Be Alive" – TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya HIV/AIDS Program

In 2003, TotalEnergies Marketing Kenya Limited introduced a comprehensive HIV/AIDS workplace program targeting employees, their dependents, customers and the community. This is a long-term program encompassing interventions that support HIV prevention, positive living, treatment and stigma reduction. "Be alive "is the slogan that supports all HIV/AIDS campaigns. It captures our aspiration of keeping our people alive through HIV prevention and provision of appropriate care and treatment.
