Nyanam Widows Rising’s Post

In Q3, we distributed 518 multistorey gardens with one goal to boost food production and ensure no #NyanamWidow goes to bed hungry. Now, as we enter Q4, we are excited to follow up on these gardens and we are truly being inspired by the dedication of our widows. Their commitment to growing fresh, nutritious vegetables for their families is a testament to their resilience and determination. Together, we are sowing the seeds of a healthier living as we end zero hunger one multistorey garden at a time! #NyanamVoiceOfChange #NyanamWidowsLeaders #WhereWidowsLead #ZeroHunger #FoodSecurity

October marks International Day of Older Persons, a time to raise awareness about the opportunities and challenges faced by aging populations and to rally the global community in support. This month, under the theme 'Ageing with Dignity,' we are excited to host a week-long regional celebration with our beloved older #NyanamWidows. To ensure its success, today, we have trained 16 dedicated Nyanam widows as caregivers using our #VoiceOfChange healthy aging curriculum. From October 21st to 25th, they will multiply all essential skills and knowledge gained to over 100 #NyanamElderlyWidows offering them space to be seen, loved, and celebrated including being provided with tips to better care for their old age. Join us in celebrating and uplifting our aging community—together, we can make a lasting impact!

Every house opening is a celebration when we welcome our widows into their new houses! This quarter, through our partnership with Onsite ICF and the unwavering support of our dedicated #NyanamFriends, we are thrilled to see six new houses nearing completion for widows who once lived in dilapidated conditions. This project fills our hearts with immense joy, as we witness firsthand the powerful transformation in the lives of #NyanamWidows. Together, we are building more than houses, we are building hope, security, and a brighter future for #NyanamWidows and their children!

We are kicking off the week with dance, music, and celebration! 🎉 Last Friday marked an incredible milestone as we completed phase two of our servant leadership training for 126 remarkable #NyanamVoiceOfChange trainers! Over three days, these dedicated Nyanam #VoCTrainers were equipped with knowledge and skills in servant leadership. The training ended with them being energized and ready to multiply their impact. In Q4, our VoC servant leadership module is designed to reach 1,400 #NyanamWidows, equipping them with the skills to lead with love, kindness, authenticity, and commitment. A huge congratulations to every one of our 126 trainers for their hard work, passion, and commitment to lead with a difference! 🙌 Now, together, we embark on the next chapter—building stronger, safer communities with #NyanamWidows at the forefront 🌟 #NyanamVoiceOfChange #NyanamWidowsLeaders #WhereWidowsLead #EmpowerWidows #ServantLeadership #CommunityTransformation #CelebrationAndImpact

At Nyanam, we are dedicated to providing our girls with nurturing spaces where they can grow, learn, and fully realize their leadership potential. #NyanamYouthLeaders #NyanamGirls #InternationalDayOfTheGirl #EmpowerGirls #FutureLeaders

Today, as Kenya observes #MazingiraDay, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering widows and their children to become passionate environmental stewards. Together, we have planted 2,500 trees in widow homes, nurturing a future where they protect and enhance their surroundings. Let’s continue to grow a greener tomorrow!
