This Customer Service Week, we celebrate what service truly means to us at CDTD.

It is not just about delivering support it is about listening, responding with dignity, and walking alongside individuals and communities on their journey toward safety and empowerment

From our shelter teams to our field staff and partners, service is at the heart of everything we do. It is how we build trust, restore hope, and create lasting impact.

We remain committed to putting people first every day.

Care work holds families, communities, and economies together yet it is too often invisible and undervalued.

As Jane Wanjiru reminds us, it is not just a duty, but a shared responsibility for all of us. Recognizing, supporting, and investing in care work is essential to building more equal and resilient societies.

Let’s continue to shift the narrative care work is work, and it matters.

Under the Time to Care Project, CDTD hosted a VSLA (Village Savings and Loan Association) training for domestic workers in Kiambu and Nairobi Counties.

The training aimed to strengthen financial literacy, promote a savings culture, and empower domestic workers with practical tools to improve their economic resilience and independence.

Through this initiative, participants are better equipped to manage their finances, support their households, and build more secure and sustainable livelihoods.affairs.canada ’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada Oxfam Oxfam Kenya

CDTD participated in ELRASE IV 2026 at Strathmore University, a Judiciary-convened symposium on “Labour Migration and Access to Justice.” The event brought together key stakeholders to address challenges in labour justice within a globalised and mobile workforce.

Discussions focused on strengthening cooperation across borders to protect migrant workers throughout the migration cycle—from fair recruitment and employment to return and reintegration—while tackling issues such as trafficking, forced labour, wage exploitation, unsafe working conditions, discrimination, and unfair contracts. Key emphasis was placed on improving access to justice through judicial cooperation, alternative dispute resolution, technology-enabled systems, and stronger enforcement of labour rights.

The symposium also highlighted gender-responsive labour justice, protection of domestic and migrant workers, international labour standards, and social protection mechanisms, aligning closely with CDTD’s Labour Migration and Decent Work work. It concluded with a joint communique reaffirming commitment to a more inclusive and effective labour justice system that ensures dignity, protection, and remedies for all workers.

Under the Time to Care Project, an engagement held at the East Africa Institute of Homecare Management brought together stakeholders to discuss the real challenges faced by domestic workers.

The dialogue included diverse perspectives from government representatives to employers providing a platform to share experiences, reflect on key issues, and explore practical solutions.

These conversations are critical in shaping fair, safe, and dignified working conditions for domestic workers.

Following the inaugural Africa Care Forum in Addis Ababa, CDTD continues to reflect on the important conversations shaping the future of care across the continent.

Represented by our Executive Director Edith Murogo and Rachel Kagoiya, the forum provided a critical platform to engage with African institutions, governments, and partners on the growing recognition of care as a central pillar of development.

A key takeaway is clear: care must move from the margins to the centre integrated into how we design our economies, infrastructure, and social systems. From supporting caregivers to redistributing care responsibilities and recognizing its value, the conversation is gaining the momentum it deserves.

As we move forward, CDTD remains committed to advancing care systems that are inclusive, dignified, and responsive to the realities of women, girls, and communities.

September is Su***de Prevention Month a time to raise awareness, break the silence, and remind one another that mental health matters.

At CDTD and the Talia Agler Girls Shelter (TAGS), we recognize that many people silently struggle with emotional and mental challenges. Creating awareness is the first step toward building understanding, compassion, and support.

Let’s foster environments where people feel safe to speak, seek help, and be heard. Conversations can save lives, and awareness can lead to action.

You are not alone.

Strengthening systems to better support survivors.

Through the Justice for Survivors (J4S) Program, Centre for Domestic Training and Development Kenya. partnered with Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW) to support a Multi-Sectoral Referral Pathways Actors Training in Nairobi County, bringing together key stakeholders involved in responding to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).

The training focused on building a shared understanding of survivor-centred approaches, psychosocial support, legal processes, protection, and effective referral pathways while also strengthening coordination from community level to the courts.

By working together, we can ensure survivors receive timely, holistic, and dignified support at every stage.
