I had the pleasure to sit with dementia patients caregivers in #Komarock and listen to their Stories of resilience. They agreed to form a support group for experience sharing, support and selfcare @SuqoonKe

Ending ageism begins by hearing the
voices of those who experience it.
It's up to us to follow their lead toward a
fairer society.

@Nakhumicha_S Dear CS,as you appoint members for the Social Health Board, I kindly request you ensure Older persons representation in the board. This is an age group often left behind in such important matters and it's important their voices are heard.

The abuse of older people is a serious problem.

1️⃣ in 6️⃣ older people are abused every year, harming their physical & mental health.

But we can reduce abuse of older people by working together across 5 priorities ⬇

Long thread: Here goes my analysis of the Azimio La Umoja and Kenya Kwanza Manifestos. The analysis is from a social policy perspective. First, I need to state that am persuaded that governments exist to promote the well-being and welfare of its citizens.
