@Mensenmissie @FaithtoActionet @SFCG_Kenya @irck_info @SUPKEM1 @CICCTrust @MUHURIkenya @KMYA254 @KECOSCE @chemchemi 3/3 It has shown FoRB is a lived reality where people of different faiths choose cooperation over competition & compassion over fear. That's why, even as JISRA ends, the bridges built will continue #BeliefMattersKE #FoRB4All @Mensenmissie @FaithtoActionet @SFCG_Kenya @CICCTrust
