SAFE Pwani have just returned from a another successful WASH performance tour in Ndavaya, Kwale County. The team are continuing to use innovative ways to keep educating the community on water, sanitation and hygiene, whilst keeping both the team and audience protected from Covid-19.
A new skit has been added to the WASH play to educate about the realities of Covid-19, and give out practical advice on how the community can protect themselves and their families. In the breaks in-between the shows the team volunteered to move around the community, providing mass covid-19 awareness.
Thank you to all the team, community volunteers and local administration for making this tour possible. ... See MoreSee Less

Andrew Kasuku of the Daily Star came to see SAFE Samburu in action and observed Project Manager Francis Lemoile facilitating a Leaders Meeting for his article on the need for men to support FGC abandonment. See excerpt and a link to the full article below.
'The speaker, Francis Lemoile, young enough to be their son, has to keep pausing to engage the opinions of each attendee to project a demeanour that will make him address the elders throughout the discussion.
“You know these are elders and traditionally, it's they who are supposed to advise me and not vice versa. So you have to be very cautious and project respect to win their audience,” Lemoile says.
While the key discussion is centred on FGM, the three-day session has to include other more acceptable topics to lessen the tension of having to talk about the violation with the elders.
“Today we started with discussing the coronavirus, then we will talk about HIV-Aids before we delve into FGM matters. It’s a strategic approach to drive the message home since FGM is not anything you want to talk about without any plan, especially if you are against it,” Lemoile says.
