Impact Story: Judith Ngeresa
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.
