A few days ago, on International Epilepsy Day, we made a pledge. Today, we begin honoring it.
As part of our , we ,in collaboration with Foundation for people with Epilepsy and the County Government of Kilifi committed to establishing and strengthening community-led epilepsy support groups in Kilifi County β co-designed with people with epilepsy and caregivers, and grounded in lived experience.
We have listened to stories of isolation, misunderstood symptoms, missed opportunities, and families quietly carrying the weight without support. And we kept asking: What would change if no one had to walk this journey alone?
That question led to the idea of creating Epilepsy Support Groups in Kilifi.
This vision is finally moving from words to actionsβ creating safe, stigma-free spaces where individuals and families can connect, share openly, learn from one another, and build collective strength.
This is only the beginning β and we are building it with the community, not just for the community.
