WORLD VISION KENYA LAUNCHES ENOUGH CAMPAIGN

 

World Vision Kenya has embarked on a landmark campaign, "ENOUGH," aimed at combating child hunger and malnutrition in Kenya. The campaign aims to ensure that children have access to nutritious food for their well-being and development.

Her Excellency the First Lady of the Republic of Kenya, Rachel Ruto E.G.H lauded World Vision for the initiative, noting that advocating for enough nutritious food for every child, both at home and in school, through ethical and sustainable sourcing is commendable.

 

 

"There's no greater indignity than children attending school hungry. We've made significant strides, reducing stunting from 26% in 2014 to 18% in 2022. Overall, nutrition has improved. Yet, 847,000 Kenyan children under five face acute malnutrition, down from 14.5% in 2023. We must unite to scale interventions in food security, health, nutrition, and finance to reach our goal of less than 5% childhood wasting by 2025," H.E Rachel Ruto said.

According to statics nearly 900,000 Kenyan children aged 6 to 59 months need assistance with acute malnutrition and food security. Malnutrition persists in arid counties due to multiple failed seasons, inadequate child-feeding practices, and high disease rates.

World Vision's goal is to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable children in Kenya through targeted interventions, reducing hunger in the most affected communities through the three-year campaign.

 

 2023 Global Hunger Index (GHI) states that Kenya ranks 90th out of the 121 countries included in the Index, with a score of 22.0, indicating a serious level of hunger.

In a bid to keep  fans glued to their screens  Multichoice Kenya, a leading entertainment and pay-TV provider in Kenya  has launched a new Kenyan TV series, Shanga at a popular Maasai Lodge in that capital Nairobi.

 Nzola Miranda, Managing Director, MultiChoice speaking  during the show party said “Today marks an exciting milestone for our viewers as we introduce ‘Shanga’, a compelling addition to our local content offerings. We are committed to promoting local talent and narratives, fostering cultural preservation, and creating employment opportunities for Kenyans.”  "As Kenya's most loved storyteller, we take pride in curating the country's largest collection of local shows and remain committed to investing in local content. Local productions preserve cultural identity and promote diversity," noted Mr. Miranda. 

The new series will replace Salem and will air every Monday  to Friday on Maisha Magic Plus, available on DStv Channel 163 and GOtv Channel 3 at 8:00 p.m.Shanga joins a lineup of outstanding local productions, including 'Kam U Stay,' recently honored as Best TV Comedy at the Kalasha Awards, and 'Haki Mwitu.'

Featuring Brahim Ouma (renowned for this role in the ‘Pepeta’ show) and Foi Wambui (recognized for her role in ‘Salem’), Shanga follows the story of Soilan, a Maasai girl. When Naibei forcefully claims her as his bride, Soilan bravely stands up to him, sending shockwaves through the village. This defiance leads to a confrontation at the Eunoto ceremony – a significant Maasai rite of passage where young men have their hair shaved, symbolizing their transition to adulthood – between Naibei and the renowned Maasai Moran named Ledama.

The story follows three main characters who, amidst pursuing their dreams, find themselves entangled in a love triangle. Their aspirations and challenges are vividly depicted in this rags-to-riches narrative, richly intertwined with fashion, culture, color, and vibrancy. The Maasai culture and its ‘nuances’ play a significant role in the storyline.

key influencers and cast that attended the launch event include Damaris Irungu, Producer Kam U Stay, Podcasters and Content Creators Lydia KM and Murugi Munyi, and Performing Artist, Sanaipei Tande.
