Our Youth Voice Programme's launch in Machakos County this week was a success. This reaffirms our commitment to reach 2.1 million young people across Kenya through various initiatives. SHOFCO has already enrolled 50 youths to pursue various technical courses in the County.

It's humbling to reflect on @ShofcoFC's journey. Our story began with a passion for community-led development. In 2004, armed with just one soccer ball and 20 cents, I dreamed of transforming my community. Today, that dream is a thriving reality!

Congratulations to the young people who joined SHOFCO and Mathare River Regeneration Network to plant trees along the Nairobi River. This nationwide effort is part of our SUN program focused on the reclamation of riparian land, crucial for climate change mitigation.

We are witnessing an increased waterborne disease in Kibera and Mathare slums due to floodwaters damaging sewer lines and pipes. Several victims treated in our clinics; Our CHPs have been conducting door-to-door health campaigns to distribute Aqua tabs and oral rehydration salts.

Our Shofco Urban Network (SUN) members in Mathare were greatly affected by the recent flash floods in the area. We stand with them as they try to rebuild their lives just like we have done with the rest of the flood victims in Mathare.

Community-led approach to disaster management enhances the effectiveness of response efforts and strengthens the resilience of communities to overcome the effects. Happy to see SHOFCO working with 40 CBOs in Nairobi to distribute foodstuffs to over 2000 families.
