October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Domestic violence is not a private family matter—it is a violation of human rights. Every woman, man and child deserves to live free from fear, violence and abuse.

Let us break the silence, support survivors, hold perpetrators accountable, and strengthen our communities to prevent violence.

Speak up. Stand with survivors. Stop domestic violence.

Nawiri Africa participated in a capacity-building session organized by the Coast Regional Budget Hub (CRBH), aimed at strengthening participant’s knowledge and skills in county budgeting, public participation and Health Systems Strengthening (HSS).

The session provided an opportunity to deepen our understanding of how county budgets are developed, implemented and monitored while equipping participants with practical tools for budget analysis, advocacy and meaningful public engagement.

Through these skills, Nawiri Africa is better positioned to advocate for responsive, equitable and accountable public spending, particularly in strengthening Primary Healthcare (PHC) services across Kilifi County. Strong and accessible health systems require informed communities, evidence-based decision-making and meaningful participation from citizens especially young people.

As Nawiri Africa, we remain committed to amplifying youth and community voices, promoting accountability and contributing to stronger and more inclusive health systems.

Stronger health systems require informed citizens, meaningful participation and accountable leadership.

💜 World Su***de Prevention Day | September 10

Today, Nawiri Africa joins the world in observing World Su***de Prevention Day, underlining the importance of compassion, connection and creating safe spaces where everyone can speak openly about their struggles.

Su***de prevention is a collective responsibility. Behind every smile may be a silent struggle, and sometimes a simple conversation, a listening ear or showing genuine care can make a difference.

🕯️ Let us light a candle to remember those we have lost, honour their lives, and stand in solidarity with those who are struggling.

Let us choose to listen without judgement, support without stigma, and reach out before it is too late. No one should feel alone or believe that their pain has no solution.

At Nawiri Africa, we remain committed to creating a safe space for all where dignity, hope, mental wellbeing and human connection are valued.

Your life matters. Your story matters. You are not alone. 💜🕯️

September is Su***de Prevention Month. 💜

At Nawiri Africa, we stand in solidarity with individuals, families and communities affected by mental health challenges. This month reminds us that every life matters and that a simple act of kindness, listening or checking in can make a difference.

Let us create safe spaces where people feel seen, heard, supported and valued. Together, we can break the silence, end stigma and encourage those who are struggling to seek help without fear or judgment.

Remember:
💜 Talk openly.
💜 Listen with compassion.
💜 Support one another.
💜 Stay connected.
💜 Choose hope.

No one should face difficult moments alone. Reach out, speak out and help save a life.

Nawiri Africa, together with other Women Rights Organizations (WROs) and Youth-Led Organizations (YLOs), participated in a high-level roundtable that brought together Kilifi County Government departments, civil society organizations, and youth actors to deliberate on development priorities, accountability, and meaningful citizen participation.

The engagement focused on the implementation of FY 2025/2026 projects, priorities for FY 2026/2027, and opportunities for citizens to effectively participate in the Annual Development Plan (ADP) and County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) processes, with a strong focus on green transition and environmental sustainability.

Building on the outcomes of the roundtable, Nawiri Africa and its partners are taking the conversation to communities by equipping young people and citizens with practical knowledge and skills to participate in county planning, track development priorities, and hold duty bearers accountable.

Nawiri Africa remains committed to moving beyond training and dialogue towards meaningful participation that empowers citizens to influence decisions and development processes affecting their communities.

As part of the Kilifi County Gender Sector Working Group, Nawiri Africa joined other stakeholders from the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Equity & Inclusion thematic areas in a meeting to strengthen coordination, collaboration and accountability in advancing gender equality and social inclusion across Kilifi County.

A key outcome of the meeting was the reaffirmation of the importance of timely, accurate and high-quality reporting as a cornerstone for measuring progress, informing evidence-based planning, strengthening coordination among stakeholders and demonstrating the collective impact of interventions aimed at promoting gender equality, equity, and inclusion.

The engagement also provided a valuable platform for partners to share experiences, reflect on progress, identify emerging priorities and reinforce collective action in addressing gender-based violence while advancing the rights and inclusion of women, girls, persons with disabilities, youth and other marginalized groups.

Nawiri Africa remains steadfast in its commitment to working alongside other stakeholders to build a more inclusive, equitable and gender-responsive Kilifi County where every individual can live with dignity, safety and equal opportunity.

We are deeply honoured to receive recognition from the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) under the Usawa Awards 2026 for our advocacy in addressing femicide and championing accountability and response among duty bearers in Kilifi County.

As Nawiri Africa, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to advancing gender equality, ending GBV including femicide and working alongside communities, government and partners to build a safer, more just, and inclusive society.
To everyone who has walked this journey with us, thank you. This recognition belongs to all of us and it inspires us to do even more.
