Amazing impact: 700+ children & families received assessments, therapy, SHA & NCPWD registration, birth certificates, and food packages. After hosting this campaign in Garissa, I’ve seen firsthand how it transforms lives & ensures no child is hidden.

أنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون A legend visionary has left us today. Sh Mud’irasul, founder of the Young Muslim Association was a philanthropist who dedicated his life to uplifting underprivileged and orphaned children in the larger Northern Kenya region.

He established the Young Muslim Association in 1969, an institution that grew into a transformative centre for our communities. His legacy lives on through countless individuals who, under his guidance, shattered the limits of what they believed possible.

Though he has passed, his impact remains, in the doctors, engineers, teachers, and leaders who found hope and support within his walls. May his soul rest in Jannah.

Thank you, @WilliamsRuto, for abolishing the oppressive vetting process in ID issuance for Northern & border counties and for opening the Immigration Office in Garissa. Your NEP tour has not only built vital infrastructure but restored dignity to our people.

Challenge accepted. 2027 it is and the battle will be in Mandera not Garissa. We shall deploy the necessary strategy, troops, weaponry and logistics to ensure complete obliteration and burial of UDM.
In the Garissa Township by-election held on January 5, 2023, Dekow Barrow Mohamed of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) emerged victorious, securing 11,572 votes. His closest competitor, Nassir Dolal Mohamed of the United Democratic Movement (UDM), garnered 8,158 votes. The by-election witnessed UDMs market share rise from zero to 46% of the vote cast of Garissa township votes. You can only imagine what will happen in 2027 to the current incumbent. I leave it to your imagination insha’Allah.

Children with disabilities are to be viewed for their unique abilities and potential than on their disabilities. We must all make our best efforts towards helping these vulnerable communities reach their full potential and change our attitude towards disabilities.
