💬🧡 Every Conversation Matters

A simple check-in with your child about their day, friends, and concerns builds trust and creates a safe space for guidance.

You don't need all the answers – just be present and listen. 🧡

Today in Bungoma, we moved from dialogue to action 👊

@InteriorKE CS @kipmurkomen, alongside NACADA Chair Bishop @MairoriSte77864 and CEO Dr. @omerikwa, brought the community together for a critical engagement forum.

The mission? Sensitization on the dangers of substance abuse and rallying every citizen to play their rightful role in eradicating this menace.

Drug abuse is a threat to our nation’s future, and the government cannot do it alone. It’s time for all of us to step up. #CommunityFirst
