3 days of engagement. Diverse voices. One shared responsibility.

Over 40 stakeholders from national and county government, media, creative arts, influencers, and civil society convened in @KilifiCountyGov to deepen a shared understanding that clear, ethical, and responsible communication is critical in preventing and countering violent extremism, addressing harmful narratives, and strengthening community trust.

Implemented under the Kenya–EU partnership and aligned to Kenya’s #PCVE Strategy 2025–2030, the Communication and Media Stakeholders' Capacity Building Forum strengthened skills in planning and implementing effective PCVE campaigns and responsible messaging.

Together, we continue to build resilient communities, credible voices, and social cohesion.

One day in Kolkata, Mother Teresa rescued a polio affected little boy Gautam Lewis, who was abandoned by his parents. She took care of him. Later the boy was adopted by a British nuclear physicist. Though he has been using crutches to walk, Lewis went on to become a pilot. He also started a flying school to train people with disabilities. Lewis attended Mother Teresa’s canonisation celebrations in Kolkata in the year 2016.
