Clinton says his foundation received grants worth $1.5 million to help train medical workers for rural areas in this East African nation for particular treatment of children and people in those areas who tend to receive the fewest services in poor countries.
Singer Elton John and the Children Investment Fund Foundation, a London-based charity that funds projects to improve the lives of children in poor nations, donated the money.
Some 1.2 million Kenyans are infected with HIV. About 200,000 of these people need treatment with life-prolonging drugs, but only 44,000 have access to the medication.
Clinton says, "I hope in the next couple of years we will be putting 150,000 people on treatment."
Clinton is on a six-nation tour of Africa to focus attention on the AIDS crisis in the continent.
