At Gesabakwa CBO, we believe in honoring and empowering our cherished elders. We shine a spotlight on the incredible strength, resilience, and invaluable wisdom of the elderly women in Kisii County.
Meet Mama Nyamusi, a truly remarkable woman! At 113 years young, Mama Nyamusi from Kisii holds a lifetime of stories and traditions of the Kisii people. Her sharp memory and vibrant spirit make her an invaluable resource, sharing cultural insights with her peers and offering guidance to younger generations. Imagine the wealth of knowledge, the lessons learned, and the traditions preserved within her stories!
These women are the pillars of our community, holding the heritage and experiences that shape our identity. They offer profound wisdom and guidance, and a deep understanding of our cultural roots.
However, even in their golden years, challenges arise. Many of these incredible women face difficulties accessing essential healthcare services. Simple mobility can become a struggle, and the need for wheelchairs is a pressing concern.
Inspired by the powerful messages of Mama Nyamusi and the collective wisdom of our cherished elderly women, Gesabakwa CBO is deeply committed to ensuring their well-being and dignity. We work tirelessly to:
- Advocate for and facilitate access to necessary healthcare.
- Provide essential mobility aids, such as wheelchairs.
- Create platforms for intergenerational learning and cultural exchange.
- Offer support and companionship.
By contributing to Gesabakwa CBO, you directly help us translate this inspiration into tangible support, providing access to vital healthcare, much-needed wheelchairs, and programs that foster well-being and social inclusion for these extraordinary individuals.
We invite you to Share this story and help us raise awareness!
Together, we can ensure that the wisdom and strength of Kisii’s elderly women continue to enrich our community.
