Thank you Harambee Stars for reminding us that unity is stronger than division, for bringing back belief in the Kenyan spirit, and for showing the potential of our sports when backed with the full support of kenyans. We may have lost this one, but off the pitch you won the nation’s heart 🇰🇪
📸 United for a Cause. One Banner. One Message.
A day after the impactful End PPH Advocacy Champions Training, this moment still echoes powerfully:
👉🏽 Every participant pointing at the banner that says it all — "I WILL RUN FOR HER."
Because behind every finger is a pledge.
A pledge to fight preventable maternal deaths.
A pledge to run, speak up, and act until no woman dies while giving life.
We’re not just building awareness — we’re building a movement. 💪🏽
🗓️ September 28th, 2025 |
Be part of this change. Be counted.
#IWillRunForHer – will you?

🌍 “Every heartbeat counts. No mother should be lost to death. Together we stand, together we fight.”
— Prof. Kihara Anne Beatrice, President of FIGO
Today, during her powerful session on ‘Global Perspectives on PPH Advocacy: Becoming Champions of END PPH Advocacy’, Prof. Kihara reminded us of the urgent need for unified global action to stop preventable maternal deaths caused by postpartum haemorrhage (PPH).
From global halls to local clinics — the call is clear: We must act. We must advocate. We must save lives.

We need all hands-on deck to address the number one cause of maternal deaths. We're training PPH advocacy champions from universities (UoN and KU) and the Midwives Association of Kenya to lead this critical fight #Iwillrunforher on 28th Sept 2025
Prof. Julius Ogeng’o from the University of Nairobi takes the stage with a powerful presentation on “UnderExplored Factors in PPH Advocacy.”
🔍 “We must move beyond the clinical lens—PPH is a mirror reflecting gaps in equity, education, and access. True advocacy demands we confront them all.”
— Prof. Julius Ogeng’o
His insights remind us that ending postpartum hemorrhage requires more than medicine—it calls for systems change, societal will, and sustained visibility.

Mama I made it!
I occupied Parliament
Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations?
But tell daddy I’m sorry
I won’t come home tonight
Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No!
Not because I’m among the injured.
No!
Nor because I was abducted as they have to most of us.
That would have been better
I’m in a cold dark place called the morgue Mama
I know daddy will be angry why I wore his shoes
I had to, I know they are bigger but I had to
Otherwise no one could have.
I know he will complain that I have read too much political novels
Please don’t let him blame Animal Farm,
Don’t let him blame Kidagaa Kimemwozea,
Don’t let him blame Tumbo Lisiloshiba,
Don’t let him blame Kifo Kisimani,
Don’t let him blame Mstahiki Meya,
Or Parliament of Owls
They can’t be blamed.
I did it for Our country.
They hailed us for being fearless Mama!
They called it an historic moment; actually unprecedented.
Did you watch the news?
All over the country thousands of us matched forward, wearing mostly black,
chanting slogans and singing revolutionary songs.
They call us GenZ Mama.
Some Mpigs say we have watched too much Netflix and we eat KFC.
Sorry for the spelling mistakes Mama,
I meant MPs.
Did you see how we sang ‘Kudade’ with Mc Gogo?
Did you see how Juliani turned up and we sang ‘Utawala’?
That song you call ‘Nikoo njaa siwezi karanga’?
Did you hear us sing ‘Tujiangalie’by Sauti Sol?
Have you seen King Kaka’s ‘ Wanataka Kutumaliza’?
Did you see how Mulamwah gave us Tea and Mandazi?
Have you seen all the comedians, Content creators and influencers?
I told you it will be Big Mama!
We matched forward Mama Slowly and peacefully Like you told me
We said we were peaceful
They rattled us with teargas and water canons Mama
We coughed, cried and chocked to the smoke but still matched on
We matched amidst the sting of that pink water they sprayed on us with those beastly vehicles
But nothing was more painful than hearing them pass that draconian punitive Bill Mama.
Remember how you used to forcefully give us porridge by locking us between your legs, pinching our noses then pouring a tone of porridge in our forcibly opened mouth?
Leaving us with two choices; swallowing or choking to death?
That’s what they did to us yesterday Mama
But unlike in the past, today’s child chose the latter; death!
We approached the parliament as promised.
We eventually occupied Parliament Mama
Albeit briefly.
The wall gave in and we entered.
I’m sorry I did not taste the rice
As some did Mama
All I tasted was the bullets Mama
They sprayed me with bullets Mama,
That’s why i won’t come home.
My battle is over Mama
But not the revolutionary war.
