Our Girls aren't safe as Covid-9 Wrecks Havoc
By James Omolo | Project Leader
The women in our society are the most vulnerable than any other parson when any pendamic hits any village and we aren't exceptional. The latest news here is really worrying trend in deed.
In tha last few weeks Covid-19 has really wrecked havoc in our county hence the mothers here are really facing it rough. The women especially the elderly ones are the most affected as we reach community spread within our rural homes, there has been high number of admissions and all our public and private hospital beds are occupied hence leaving people helpless at their times of needs. This third wave has really cost us alot and many have died. The indian variant had also been detected in kisumu county and this has made it difficult for our health proffesionals to cope up with the surge since it spreads more faster than the intial one we had here in kenya.

Schools reopen as many girls are pregnant at home.
By James Omolo | Leader
Due to the prolonged holiday period caused by the deadly Corona Virus, many of our school going girls have not been spared and when the government announced for the reopnening of our schools here in kenya. These gilrs would not turn back to school since they so far have met pregnancy during this long holiday period when they were at home for several months. These girls are now really very desparate and the governmant wants all of them to go back to school even with the visual pregnancy evident on them, some are very much asshamed and won't be able to go back hence leave school due to this.
The only sure way is to councel them and let them deliver at home and this would be ony done at a safe house which once completed would offer a safe place to go to and be rescued for the best future they may ever wanted to have even with the pregnancy at hand. We need a place these young girls would call their home after the rescue events and not be ashamed to be at despite their conditions. This would help them so much to regain confidence and courage hence they would be able to continue with their schooling without much interferences caused by their conditions as they would be guided on the best way to live her life fully for a better future for hersefl and her baby.
With the vocational trainings at the safe house they would be able to be impacted by the much needed skills for her own good in future and would make them self reliant.

Teen pregnancy On the Rise due to COVID-19
By James Omolo | Project Leader
The teenage pregnacy has escalated in kenya and this is a very worrying trend in that many school going girls are now left towonder on their next course of actions when the schools fanaly opens, The adult girls have been at home for more than ten months and have been suceptible to abuse by either their wn relatives or fellow teenage boys. The trend is so serious in Nyanza that the government really would want to curb the menace through the provincial administrators in every village.
The fact that these are children whom are not yet ready to have their own babies its becoming so difficult to assist them and the trend has been made worse due to the lockdowns due to covid 19. These girls have been wonering in the village and mixing with boys and the consiquences have been so dare indeed and it needs quick interventiosn when it would be not too late. As an Organnization we have been able to help in the smallest way possible to teach them on hwo to take good care of themselves and tell them the dare consiquences awaiting them we have also provided the young girls Physoho social support that they much needed at thsi particular time.
With the building of safe house for girls we hsall be able to asisst them in a big way hence this is the major project we are toiling to keep it alive ane enhance its reality check so that we have it like yesyerady to help us assist and secure a place for these vulnarable girls. Once completed such cases would be handles at the girls safe house where they whould be helped both socially and economically. This would really reduce the impact of such vies in the society. Lets jin our hands togeher to see this happen sooner. Thanks
