Welcome on board team @totocentre.... We need to work together on Child Protection initiatives in our beloved @LamuCountyKe. Children are the foundation blocks of any society. They need protection and equal treatment.

Key Issues that came up;
1. Low Uptake of Immunization by Mothers
2. Early Marriage/Pregnancies to Girls
3. Silent Practice of FGM/C
