On 1 December the tent went up while dew was still on the grass. Organisations from Kibera set chairs in neat rows, and government teams laid out testing kits and pamphlets written in plain Kiswahili and English.
Nurses spoke about prevention, testing, and care without flinching. Young people asked questions they had carried for months. Parents listened when someone explained treatment as a daily routine, not a verdict.
Sixteen days, one conversation
The day also closed the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. ETCO has been running sessions on safe digital spaces — how harassment shows up in DMs, how misinformation spreads in groups, and how to report without shame.
We kept the link simple: when violence shows up online or at home, health risks rise. We stayed with names and faces, not slogans.
If you want a school or youth group session on digital safety in Kibera, write with your preferred dates — we book about one month out.
