Marsabit County MP, Naomi Waqo, Embarks on a Transformative Journey
Marsabit County MP, Naomi Waqo, embarked on a transformative journey to uplift the lives of children in her constituency. With a fervent commitment to nurturing the potential of every child, she delved into initiatives aimed at addressing critical needs, from nutrition to menstrual hygiene.
Her day began with a visit to Hula Hula and SKM primary schools, where she witnessed firsthand the positive impact of the school feeding program orchestrated by NACONEK. Surrounded by eager faces, she emphasized the importance of sustaining such programs, especially in challenging environments like the desert regions of Marsabit County.
Naomi articulated her belief that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves access to nutritious meals to support their growth and education. Her gratitude extended to President William Samoei Ruto, acknowledging his steadfast dedication to ensuring the well-being of children across the nation.
Building on this momentum, Naomi then turned her attention to addressing another critical issue affecting young girls in her constituency: menstrual hygiene. Through the NGAAF initiative, she launched the distribution of sanitary towels to 14,252 primary school-going girls in Marsabit County.
With unwavering determination, Naomi underscored the significance of access to sanitary towels in safeguarding the health, dignity, and education of young girls. By removing barriers to menstrual hygiene products, she aimed to ensure that no girl would miss school due to lack of access, thus advancing gender equality and empowering girls to reach their fullest potential.
Naomi’s tireless efforts resonated throughout Marsabit County, sparking hope and optimism for a brighter and healthier future for all its children. As she continued to champion these causes, her legacy as a transformative leader dedicated to the well-being of her constituents only grew stronger.
