Mombasa County stakeholders gathered to plan for World AIDS Day that will take place at Likoni Stadium in Likoni Sub-County. With this year’s theme, ‘Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response,’ we’re making sure our efforts are strategic, inclusive, and impact-driven. Let’s unite to build a stronger, healthier communities.

We had the privilege of participating in the Agriculture Skill Transfer event, where EmpowerHer products were proudly showcased. The event was graced by distinguished guests, including:

Mofumahadi Vuyelwa Tsotetsi, Queen of the Batlokoa ba Mokgalong tribe in Vred, Free State Province, South Africa.

Ms. Lindiwe Malay, Manager, Office of the Deputy Director General, Traditional Affairs, Free State Province, South Africa.

Kosasana Manapo Mopeli, Princess of the Bakiena ba Mopeli tribe in Qwaqwa, Free State Province, South Africa.

Nkokoiju Africa (NIA) was well represented by our Co-Director Lulu Laini, who also served as a moderator during the event, alongside Elizabeth Sumba, Lucky Moraa, and Amina Mohammed, who showcased the creativity and impact of EmpowerHer products.

This event highlighted not only the importance of agricultural skills transfer but also the power of women-led innovation and enterprise in creating sustainable solutions.

Today, we join the world in marking World Hepatitis Day – a day to raise our voices, spread awareness, and fight for a future free from viral hepatitis.

Did you know?
Hepatitis B and C affect over 354 million people worldwide.
Many live with it silently unaware, untreated, and at risk.
Yet, hepatitis is preventable, treatable, and in many cases, curable.

At Nkokoiju Africa, we believe that knowledge is power and access to healthcare is a right.
Let us break the silence and stigma. Let us talk about testing, vaccination, and treatment especially within our most vulnerable communities.

Get tested.
Get vaccinated.
Get informed.
Together, we can eliminate hepatitis. Together, we can save lives.
