The support program, aligned with the Ministry’s wider social protection agenda, focuses on uplifting marginalized women through practical interventions and emotional support.

Beneficiaries expressed deep appreciation, saying the assistance eased their daily struggles and offered a sense of visibility and care.
PS Wangombe has become known for blending policy with presence, making a direct impact in communities while advancing gender equity at the national level. Her visit to Nyeri further cements her role as a hands-on leader dedicated to reaching the forgotten corners of society.
