CITIZENS for CHANGE - CBO

Yesterday, we were delighted to be presented by our Executive Director to the historic inauguration of the Kwale Youth Assembly which took place at the Kwale Cultural Amphitheatre. Our ED also had the privilege to represent Kwale CSOs and deliver a speech on behalf of Kwale CSOs Consortium, Presiding Convener Mr. George Jaramba. As Organization we are looking forward to engaging and collaborating with any like-minded partner in order to seek better governance and service delivery for the great people of this County and Kenya at large. We are determined to continue championing the rule of law, transparency, accountability, diversity, and exclusivity among others. .

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, many families have been affected socially and economically leading to psychological effects including cases of trauma within families. This is what led to our Organization to organize an activity dubbed “Trauma and COVID-19 Awareness” with an aim of creating awareness basically on the effects of Trauma with regards to the novel virus . We narrowed down to the mitigation measures of how to stay safe, fit, and healthy during this period of the global pandemic by taking participants through the focal steps of ensuring everyone is out of danger of the novel virus. On the Trauma aspect our guest SambaSports Youth Agenda, Partnership Advisor - Mr. Mohamed Mwachausa took the participants through what is trauma, types of trauma, causes of trauma, how trauma manifests in human life, and finally how to cope with trauma.

Today, we had a very constructive planning meeting on our upcoming activity on Trauma and COVID-19 pandemic.
