Highlights

This initiative was launchedduring the 9th International Widows Day inVihiga County, in partnership with Aga KhanHospital and Avenue Hospital. The Free MedicalCamp also supported widows in Nairobi and isplanned to be replicated across the entirecountry.

TREE PLANTING

To address Climate Change, CTWOO has embraced a tree planting project that is currently being carried out by the Osiligi Le Nkoliae widow group in Kajiado County. To enhance sustainability and environmental conservation, CTWOO is ensuring that widows in their respective registered groups are also participating in tree planting projects.

Widows’ Food Assistance

CTWOO has been providing food packages to widows in Arid and Semi-arid areas in response to hunger and drought. The target beneficiaries are elderly and lactating widows from the region. Although this initiative is conducted annually, CTWOO has taken on the additional responsibility of providing food to widows with HIV/AIDS and Cancer from the slums of Nairobi who are unable to feed themselves.

PARALEGAL TRAINING

CTWOO has embraced paralegal training for widows, training them as Trainers of Trainers to address the alarming issue of widow’s rights violations. We have graduated our widows in Nairobi, Kiambu, Nyeri and Meru as advocates of their own rights through our paralegal training program. Through this they are able to speak up whenever their rights are violated.

DIGNITY KITS

CTWOO makes the efforts to address the specific needs of orphaned boys and girls, reduce absenteeism from school due to lack of hygiene products, and promote their overall wellbeing and self-esteem. CTWOO does this by providing essential hygiene and personal care items including sanitary pads, toiletries and undergarments. This helps to maintain their health dignity and confidence during menstruation and daily life.

CANDID DISCUSSIONS ON WIDOWS EMPOWERMENT

CTWOO actively engages in deliberations with various stakeholders who assist in the formulation of policies for widowed persons. CTWOO is currently developing a manual on economic empowerment for widows in collaboration with the President’s Advisor on Women’s Rights, Hon. Harriet Chiggai.
