Mumma rallies support to combat Triple Threat in Kisumu

Nominated Senator Catherine Mumma has teamed up with the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) to launch a bold campaign to tackle the "triple threat" of teenage pregnancies, new HIV infections, and gender-based violence (GBV) in Kisumu County.

The initiative, which targets secondary schools in Nyakach sub-county, aims to equip adolescents with accurate information and life skills to combat the growing threat that has left many young people vulnerable.

Kisumu County, she said, continues to register some of the highest numbers of new HIV infections among teenagers nationally, posing a big challenge in the war against the virus.

Speaking at Guu Mixed Secondary School in Nyakach during one of the sensitisation forums, Senator Mumma said the campaign was critical for reversing the alarming trends in the county.
