Founder/CEO | Nyanam Widows Rising; PhD SD4H Fellow | UCSF/Maseno University. I desire to see Africa where widows thrive.
We are thrilled to partner with SFF to advance the human, social, health and economic rights of widows in Kenya. Access and ownership of property, especially land, is one of the most violated economic rights of widows. As we start 2024, Nyanam widows will be - critically analyzing their experiences with land since widowhood - increasing their awareness on their land rights and process for land ownership - designing and implementing social action projects to improve their land ownership At societal level, much needs to change to advance women’s land rights. The practice that women have no voice on land matters should stop The practice that land is registered only in the names of male family members should stop The practice of denying childless widows land should stop

Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered, freelance) and Clinical tutor (Leeds University)
Always a very inspiring place to be and one of the highlights of my work as a clinical psychologist.
Another wonderfully interactive workshop today with Bury foster carers. What a brilliant bunch of people striving hard to understand the children and young people in their homes to help support healing and bringing them towards the acceptance of nurture that they need so much. Thank you all for what you bring to the lives of children in care. https://lnkd.in/eZyhqFbR
Organizing and Community Engagement Manager at Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative
Check out this essay that talks about and cites our work here at Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative
Jane Place's work was included in an essay by The Kresge Foundation senior program officer, Jacquelynn Y. Orr, DrPH, FACHE, on Civic Engagement. It highlights Right to Counsel, a law that was passed in 2021 by New Orleans City Council to provide free legal representation to all city residents facing eviction. We support this program that helps to keep tenants in their homes with early notification of eviction filings and tenant outreach and education as a partner to Southeast Louisiana Legal Services. #civicengagement #evictions #righttocounsel #communityhealth https://lnkd.in/g_b5cjQG
As we wrap up #BlackHistoryMonth, we must remember: work needs to be done to combat the problem of disproportionality, which affects black children and families, as well as other minority populations in foster care. As we acknowledge the work of those before us, let us use their example to guide us as we continue working on behalf of the most vulnerable children and families. For more on disproportionality visit https://bit.ly/38aTWvV.

This is very important legislation, but in order for it to work, it needs to look at *all* deaths in custody - this House version does, but the Senate recently amended away the most important aspects of this legislation and we need to push back by coming out strong for this hearing! As much as we may focus on homicide, there is an even greater problem of deaths by medical neglect. Although these might be classified as natural on an autopsy, they are anything but when someone is confined and denied access to lifesaving care. As the Corizon/Yes Care Texas Two Step scandal continues to generate fallout across the country (including here in Maryland), we must be ever vigilant that our state does not permit this to continue. The immediate cost to the lives of Marylanders is too high, and as the state becomes responsible for these bills as Corizon dissolves, the long-term cost to our general fund could be immeasurably high. Every Maryland taxpayer should be concerned about this issue!

“Determining Alignment of State-Level Family Engagement Frameworks with the NAFSCE Family Engagement Core Competencies: A South Carolina Crosswalk” explores one example of how State Education Agencies can identify areas of alignment between their state-specific family engagement frameworks and the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement's (NAFSCE) Family Engagement Core Competencies.
