Kakamega Women Representative Elsie Muhanda has reached out to widows from the four wards of Mumias West Constituency with food donations to help ease their daily struggles.
Speaking during the event, Muhanda declared her commitment to continue standing with vulnerable groups, including the widows and persons with disabilities, during these tough economic times to help them overcome the social challenges.
“In my continuous efforts to reach out to my people, I remain committed to supporting those most in need. Today’s donation may not solve every problem, but it will help reduce the pressure on families and give them some relief,” she said.
The widows, many of whom struggle to provide for their families after losing their spouses, welcomed the gesture with joy.
They said the support was a sign that their leader cares about their welfare.
One of the beneficiaries thanked the Woman Representative saying the food items had come at the right time. “This shows we are not forgotten,” she said.
Muhanda assured residents that her office will continue running programs that uplift vulnerable groups across Kakamega through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF).
She said her goal is not only to provide relief food but also to promote dignity and unity among families.
“We must walk together as leaders and citizens. By supporting each other, we can build stronger and more resilient communities,” added Muhanda.
Her visit has been seen as a strong message of compassion, hope and leadership that listens to the people.
