Kakamega Governor's spouse Janet Barasa has unveiled a widow-empowerment programme targeting over 1,200 widows across the county's 12 sub-counties to boost their economic well-being.
Speaking during a meeting with a section of widows drawn from Lugari Sub County at the governor's Northern region office at Panpaper yesterday, Mrs.
Barasa underscored the importance of helping widows rebuild their lives besides enabling them to support their families.
Barasa said for a long time, widows have been neglected, with a majority of them facing significant challenges, including economic insecurity, social isolation, and physical and emotional abuse.
