Siku ya Katiba!

Katiba ya 2010 ilisema mambo ni matatu:
Haki. Usawa. Ugatuzi.

Lakini sheria kwa karatasi si haki kwa ground!

From economic empowerment to holistic wellbeing, we’re building systems where people can truly thrive. 💜

We were honoured to host Hivos and their partners from the Netherlands at LARWHER for a firsthand look at how the economic empowerment work supported through the Free to Thrive Project is taking shape.

For us, empowerment is interconnected. Economic justice, health, dignity and opportunity all matter.

Through this partnership, we have:

✨ Trained 15 entrepreneurs in Kakamega through LILO UP.
✨ Trained the first LILO UP cohort in Kisumu — 30 entrepreneurs on VSLA/table banking as part of our revolving fund.
✨ Creating platforms for entrepreneurs to showcase, market and sell their products and services.
✨ Continued building pathways that connect skills, financial inclusion and sustainable livelihoods.

The delegation also visited our Wellness Clinic at Lumumba Sub-County Hospital, where they learned more about our Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programme and our work to ensure access to safe, inclusive and responsive health services for our rights holders.

We are grateful to Hivos and our partners for investing in this journey and for taking the time to see the impact of this work firsthand. Because when people have the skills, resources, markets and healthcare they need to thrive, communities thrive too.

Two weeks ago, we held our second Town Hall Meeting on the proposed Kisumu County Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare Bill, 2026, bringing together young people, community health volunteers,young community leaders and organizers,creatives and other stakeholders to deepen public understanding of the proposed law.

Building on the momentum of our first dialogue, this second engagement created another inclusive platform for participants to ask questions, exchange ideas, and submit recommendations that will strengthen the Bill and ensure it reflects the diverse needs and realities of the people of Kisumu.

Public participation is more than a constitutional requirement,it's an opportunity for communities to shape policies that directly impact their lives. Together, we are working towards a Kisumu where everyone can access quality, affordable, inclusive, and rights-based sexual and reproductive healthcare.

Our Health. Our Rights. Our Voice.

Today, members of the Ubuntu Prosperity selfhelp came together for their regular meeting that is held twice a month to strengthen and grow the revolving fund through table banking founded on the VSLA model.

This is a rights holder-led initiative that provides members with access to small, rapid loans to meet immediate business needs, strengthen cash flow, and support the growth of their micro-enterprises. By managing the fund themselves, members are fostering a culture of collective ownership, financial accountability, and mutual support.

Community-led financing is more than access to capital it is a pathway to sustainable livelihoods, economic resilience, and long-term economic justice.

💜 At LARWHER, we believe that economic justice is fundamental to dignity, safety, and self-determination. By investing in knowledge, skills, and collective support, we are building a future where sexual and gender minority (SGM) communities and feminist movements can thrive economically, lead with confidence, and create lasting change.

Last month, we convened the LILO UP Economic Empowerment Programme in Kakamega County, bringing together SGM entrepreneurs and community members to strengthen their financial literacy, entrepreneurial skills, and economic resilience.

Through interactive sessions on money management, personal strengths, goal setting, entrepreneurship, career planning, and financial wellbeing, participants gained practical tools to grow sustainable livelihoods, build resilient businesses, and move closer to achieving their personal and economic aspirations.

💜 Together, we are nurturing resilience, expanding opportunities, and transforming lives—one entrepreneur at a time.
