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.

Dorcas Nekesa Musa is a young married woman with two children aged between four years and five months old respectively. She is a primary school dropout, epileptic, and her husband is an alcoholic. Dorcas was identified by the Community Health Volunteer (CHV) from the Chwele Community Resource and Peace Center at a time when she had just buried her first born who succumbed to a malnutrition-related illness.

My name is Judith Ngeresa from Kenya. I am a Social Scientist by profession and a part time lecturer in the criminology and social work department at Kibabii University. I am a mother of four.

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.
