Every warrior has a story this is ours and theirs.From the shores ...

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. At ZUWI AFYA CBO we believe every silent struggle deserves to be heard, every story deserves compassion and every life deserves another chance.

Globally more than 720,000 people die by su***de each year while Kenya’s Ministry of Health estimates about four su***de deaths every day. These numbers are not statistics they represent parents, siblings, friends, colleagues and dreams that mattered.

If you are struggling please talk to someone. If someone is hurting listen without judgment stay close and support them. You are not a burden and most importantly you are not alone. We are here for you.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month a time to replace myths with knowledge, stigma with empathy and silence with action.

Today, Day 6 we are shining a light on a truth: people living with sickle cell can live full, productive lives when they receive appropriate care, support and understanding. At ZUWI AFYA CBO we stand with every Warrior and family advocating for informed choices, genotype screening and compassionate care.

Know the facts. Ask questions. Support a Warrior. Let's build a future where sickle cell is met with knowledge.

FACT: Sickle cell disease is inherited when a child receives a sickle cell gene from both parents.

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month and ZUWI AFYA CBO in partnership with Zuwis Pharmacy proudly stands with Warriors and their families to amplify awareness, challenge stigma and promote better care. We advocate for genotype screening because knowing your genotype empowers you to make informed health decisions.

Do you know your partner’s genotype status? If not this is an important conversation to have. Genotype screening is available at Zuwis Pharmacy at an affordable cost with a special 15% discount throughout September.

Let’s normalize screening, encourage knowledge, support Warriors and build communities where everyone can live with dignity. ✨

On 11th August 2026 ZUWI AFYA CBO in collaboration with Village of Hope conducted a sickle cell awareness and sensitization outreach in Gwassi, Homa Bay reaching 50 warriors and caregivers. Our CEO challenged misconceptions around sickle cell disease and herbal medication while answering sensitive questions with clarity. The conversations revealed silent mental health struggles among caregivers and stigma affecting warriors including body-shaming over their size. Every warrior went home with essential medication, including Hydroxyurea, Pen V, Folic Acid and pain medication. Caregivers also received support and practical guidance on care including weight-based medication dosing. The outreach reaffirmed the urgent need for expanded medical, psychosocial and community-based support in Gwassi.

ZUWI AFYA CBO was proud to partner in the International Youth Day and Youth Week 2026 celebrations held in Seme Sub-County on 10th August 2026 under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.” The engagement went beyond celebration, championing practical pathways for youths to thrive. We emphasized expanding access to youth enterprise funds, strengthening positive male mentorship and family responsibility, and turning local skills into income-generating innovations. By connecting young people to opportunities, supportive networks and resources we are helping transform potential into livelihoods, leadership and lasting community impact. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to turn their aspirations into action and create change from where they stand.✨

ZUWI AFYA CBO had an enriching visit to Seme where we discovered the incredible potential of mushroom farming! We were taken through the journey of planting, incubating, nurturing and harvesting mushrooms. We were able to gain practical knowledge we can turn into action. Beyond being a nutritious food, mushrooms can be processed into porridge flour, soap, and body oil, creating opportunities for better nutrition, value addition, and income generation. This experience reminded us that sustainable livelihoods can grow from simple ideas when knowledge meets opportunity. We left Seme inspired, empowered, and ready to explore innovative ways of turning farming into impact for our communities.
