SDG MASHUJAA

Mashujaa Day – the day we celebrate our Kenyan heroes… those who contributed towards the struggle for independence and those who have positively contributed post-independence.

This year, on the 20th October, we are asking YOU to be a shujaa by positively contributing in your community. It doesn’t have to be a big act or something that costs you a lot of money. It just has to positively impact at least one person. Here are some ideas:

• Visit an elderly person in your hood or even your family. Make or take them something to eat and spend time chatting to them
• Give the guard at your home or office compound a cup of tea and a bite to eat
• Get a few friends or neighbours together and organise a clean-up in your hood
• If it’s a hot day, refresh a cop by buying them a bottle of water or soda
• Have a clear out of your cupboards and see if you have any old clothes to donate (remember you can give your jeans to our Soma Na Jeans project!)
• Take time to chat and pray with a KCPE or KCSE candidate

To encourage others to do the same, please share your deed on social media using the tag #SDGshujaa. We’re also planning our own deed so keep an eye on our social media pages if you want more inspiration!
