I am Joy Wasilwa from The Chwele Community in Kenya. In 2013, while attending my late Aunty Nora Musundi’ s funeral in Kitale Kenya, I met Aunty Grace whom I had not seen in many years but she was always on my mind and though I admired her work, I never had gotten the chance to let her know.

In June 2019 I lost my husband in a road accident and this had a negative impact on my life. I almost slid into depression and hopelessness. While still dealing with my grief, I had a freak accident where I broke my ankle in February 2020 and was immobile for more than four months. Things were bleak for me until a friend of mine told me about the Chwele Community Peace and Resource Centre and how they were distributing food to those people affected by COVID 19 and floods.

My name is Lindah Sanyanda and I live in a beautiful village called Kimilili, near Chwele, Kenya. I had a rather bumpy journey during my early tender years: divorced parents; abandoned to be raised by my grandmother and uncle after the re-marriage and death of my mother.
