Kiambu County Woman Representative Hon. Ann Wamuratha has continued her mission to empower grassroots communities through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), equipping women and youth with essential tools to enhance their livelihoods and create sustainable income opportunities.

Speaking in Gitothua Ward, Ruiru Constituency, Hon. Wamuratha said the empowerment initiative reflects her commitment to building a stronger and more self-reliant Kiambu, where community groups can thrive through practical support and skills development.

“Every tool we give represents opportunity, growth, and dignity. When we empower a woman or a young person, we empower an entire community,” said Hon. Wamuratha. “Together, we are building a stronger Kiambu — one ward at a time.”

Hon. Wamuratha, fondly known as Mama County Kiambu, emphasized that empowerment goes beyond donations—it’s about restoring hope, promoting enterprise, and nurturing independence among the people of Kiambu.

Residents and beneficiaries expressed deep appreciation for her consistent efforts, describing her as “a true mother of the county” who delivers tangible support where it matters most.

“Only God can bless such a leader,” remarked one beneficiary, praising her humility and commitment to uplifting the community.
