Today, In partnership with UON Mombasa Campus, We sought to find a solution that would strengthen our moral fabric by reaching out to our children through setting up a legal aid clinic initiative that will help both children & parents with children in conflict with the law @uonbi
To invest in such activities, we're able to encompass all societal aspects of life concerning law and morality, shed some light to parents and children with the belief that a crucial understanding of such has been achieved @amkeniwakenya@MombasaLaw@ugm@jasudan
Today we the Soroptimist, set the foundation for a friendly, comprehensible and easily accessible environment for our daughters and women generally at Toto Initiative, Bamburi.@SoroptiTweet@SIEurope@SIKenyaUnion@UGMParty
We achieved a great step through coaching, QAs and some inspiration through the provision of sanitary towels and subsistence. @unwomenafrica@COEC_MSA@FemnetProg
We seek to establish a positive impact and understanding of menstrual hygiene in our society for the betterment of the general public. #MenstrualHygieneDay#menstruation
1/5. As a person living with a disability(PWD), i speak from experience when i say that all the DONT's on Covid-19 are my Do's.
We are discouraged from touching surfaces, as a PWD i need those surfaces for support. @MwauraIsaac1@UGMParty@jasudan
2/5. We are advised 2 avoid unnecessary contact, but with contact is how i am able to do my day to day basic movements and activities.
And those two examples are just a few of many.
Access to medical services is still a challenge, access to tools is an even bigger challenge
3/5. Relief programs for PWDs are far fetched because it is distributed in centres that are not easy to access or reach.PWDs rely on support from family members and well wishers which greatly reduced because of the tough economic times everyone is going through @apdkdisability
