Our discussion centred around access to maternal and child health services and the community-based organisation had wanted us to hear these women’s stories. They were forced to cover distances ranging from ten to twenty kilometres to access free healthcare services in a public facility. The stories would go on until a community health promoter, Faith, recruited as part the Universal Health Coverage’s Primary Healthcare Program, stood up.

It wasn’t her role, but no woman will bleed out on the road, not on her watch.

He singled out Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua over his drive to unite only one part of the country. Kosgei, who is also a cleric, warned that such tactics risked fracturing the nation along ethnic lines and would undermine Kenya's quest for unity. “Now, if we introduce the politics of tribal identity, it is going to be dangerous. I would therefore urge politicians to do away with tribal politics and adopt nationalised politics,” Kosgei said.

Gen Z are angry — and unafraid to speak up…starting a life in activism at a young age — and going all in — is an increasingly common story among Gen Zers. On their numbers, statistics show that the median age of Kenya’s population is 20.1 years (that’s a Gen Z).
