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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery tool we give represents opportunity, growth, and dignity. When we empower a woman or a young person, we empower an entire community,\u201d said Hon. Wamuratha. \u201cTogether, we are building a stronger Kiambu \u2014 one ward at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
