ELIZABETH JEROTICH KIPSANGElizabeth Jerotich Kipsang has done a lot in a place where women are considered in little regard. When one of her neighbours was about to be killed by her violent husband, Elizabeth was the only person who had the courage to highly risk her life and go to that home and save the life of the wife. Today, that lady is alive because of the exceptional courage of Elizabeth.

On 17 of October, two days before the official Kenya ‘Mashujaa Day’ (Heroes Day), we honoured, celebrated and appreciated 23 ordinary Kenyans and one non-Kenyan, from diverse backgrounds, who are ‘sticking their necks out’ for the common good and serving their communities in selfless ways.

After many weeks Kenya I Care embarked on its activities on 10 September, 2014 at Alpha Institute of Accounting in Juja town, Kiambu County.

Creators of Peace Circles facilitators, Mediatrix Masava and Annie Gitu took the training to the town of Eldoret, the capital and largest town in Uasin Gishu County. Eldoret was a hot spot during the ethnic clashes and violence in the 2007/2008 post election violence. Eldoret is known as the Home of Champions, most of Kenya's successful athletes have their roots in Eldoret. Two Creators of Peace Circles took place there, reaching 44 women!

Creators of Peace has an active presence in 13 African countries. Coordinators and facilitators from nine of them came together in Johannesburg from 16-23 September 2014 for a retreat/refresher gathering, initiated by the South African Creators of Peace facilitation team.

Last week we shared about the Peace Circles that took place in Nakuru county. This week we take you to the county of Nairobi and just in case you don’t know, Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya. Our facilitators took the Peace Circles to a total of 50 women from the slums of Korogocho, Huruma and Dandora.
