Health and Safety and Mental health Programme
The Charity organised a 2 day workshop involving 200 school and village representatives who were trained in health and safety and first aid and so that they could pass on the skill . Most of the schools do not have first aid trained personnel which puts lives of students at risk. In the future we plan to have a regional campaign, training at least 2 teachers from every school. The multiple incidents of disability from avoidable accidents, drug overdose, fire incidents ,choking and other cases leading to death require decisive action to put the right processes and procedures in place to mitigate such risks. The need to strengthen the field of Mental health and health and safety and first aid in Africa is urgent, as the programme is not a top priority with The Government allocation of resources. Safer and healthier conditions can make an important contribution to poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Also Kenya like many other African countries’ institutions have not been sufficiently equipped to deal with issues of mental health mainly due to a lack of resources and personnel and the Charity has holding workshops on mental health to support the youth and the vulnerable with relevant supports systems.
