Building resilience through psychosocial support.
Through the support of the Danish Red Cross under the Urban Community Resilience Building Project (UCRBP), we successfully conducted a training on Loss, Grief, and Dealing with Trauma.

If you want to build a sick country, you first corrupt the food system.
Russia criminalized GMOs. William Ruto's murderous regime sponsored a bill criminalizing indigenous seeds.
Even after the high Court ruling that the bill is unconstitutional, the killer regime is still pushing it in the court of appeal.
Puppets of bioterrorists committed to destroying a country.
This clip is only five minutes long.

Do not accept the roles that society foists on you.
Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience.
Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define it for you.
Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions—your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.
Most of the time,
You will hear people say,
"I am eating fruits because they have natural sugar."
It is at this point that you realise we have been brainwashed so much by the crappy food industry and adulterated nutrition education.
There is nothing like "natural sugar" or "artificial sugar",
We only have natural and artificial SOURCES of sugar.
Sugar is just sugar.
There are two commonly known types of simple sugars,
• Glucose
• Fructose
• Galactose (this is a simple sugar too, but it is a lesson for another day.)
These simple sugars are biologically known as MONOSACCHARIDES.
Their molecular formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.
But the difference is in their structural arrangement. Glucose is a six-membered ring (aldohexose) that serves as the primary fuel, while fructose is a five-membered ring (ketohexose) found in fruit and metabolized only in the liver.
So, when the sugar comes from the fruit, the body doesn't say,
"Oh well, this is not an enemy, go slow on him,"
Or, if it comes from Sodas, Juices or Energy Drinks, the body doesn't say,
"Shit, man! Get the swords and the guns, the enemy has arrived."
NO.
The body deals with FRUCTOSE from fruits the same way it does with FRUCTOSE from sodas.
FRUCTOSE follows one pathway called THE FRUCTOKINASE PATHWAY in the liver.
The biggest problem with fructose, apart from being insanely sweet, is that, in the liver, it accumulates into fatty acids and triglycerides. This accumulation leads to:
• Insulin Resistance and Diabetes
• Oxidative stress
• Chronic Inflammation
• Elevated uric acid levels leading to GOUT
• Hypertension
Therefore, if you are focusing on recovering from a fatty liver, a fat stomach or losing weight, then avoid eating these fruits.
It is ridiculous when you see people carrying fruits to patients admitted in hospitals because of chronic ailments, and yet hospital nutritionists act dumb, and feign ignorance.
They even tell patients to eat fruit and drink juices like Ribena and Del Monte to "Regain Energy."
This is madness and functional illiteracy.

Do not be afraid to exaggerate the role of willpower. It is an exaggeration with a purpose. It leads to a positive self-fulfilling dynamic, and that is all you care about. See this shaping of your attitude as your most important creation in life, and never leave it to chance.
Every day you face battles—that is the reality for all creatures in their struggle to survive. But the greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end.
In the future, the great division will be between those who have trained themselves to handle these complexities and those who are overwhelmed by them -- those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can never focus enough to learn.
Young people in Kenya are facing growing threats — from widespread misinformation about sexual health to the rising risks of online exploitation. Now more than ever, we need courageous, informed voices to lead the way and protect the rights and well-being of youth.

Kenya Red Cross Mombasa Branch, in partnership with Finnish Red Cross, held a successful inception and stakeholder engagement meeting for the Joint Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (JRVA) on 9th May 2025.
Meet Pope Leo XIV, the first American Pope in history.
Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost elected to succeed Pope Francis on the second day of the conclave
Today, we are in Mombasa, meeting residents, electricity professionals and consumers from Taita Taveta, Kwale, Kilifi, Mombasa, and Lamu counties. We are collecting views on two draft regulations: the Draft Energy (Electric Power Undertaking Licensing) Regulations, 2025 and the Draft Energy (Electricity Supply and Installation Work) Regulations, 2025.
The proposed regulations once approved will encourage safe, reliable, and high-quality electricity services for everyone. These regulations aim to strengthen standards across the entire electricity supply chain-from importation and generation to distribution and retail so that every Kenyan can benefit from safer and more dependable power.^DC
Pope Francis has died.
He dedicated himself to marginalized people – especially refugees – as the world’s politicians fought culture wars.
Here’s how the first Pope from the Global South changed the narrative:
As we gear up to mark 60 years of service and celebrate World Red Cross Day, we’re honoured to receive a generous KES 400,000 donation from Golden Key Ltd. This contribution will go a long way in supporting a heartfelt luncheon for vulnerable children.
