Thank you to everyone who attended and made this day so special..

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our Chairman and beloved Doctor, Dr. Waweru Hosea.

Dr. Waweru was not only a dedicated leader but also a compassionate and skilled dermatologist who touched the lives of many. His contributions to our group and the broader psoriasis community were immense, and his absence will be deeply felt.

We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. Please join us in remembering and honoring his remarkable legacy.

Hello fellow warriors :

Many people have diabetes, heart, liver and kidney problems but they are internal and therefore not visible. Skin is a visible organ so our disease is visibly noticed by everyone. Whether you like it or not, this is the only difference between us and others.
To deal with depression one of the doctors advised me to not look in the mirror more than once in a day. Instead of becoming tense, I take medicine on time, have a good exercise regime with healthy foods daily.
When I used to think only about my skin disease, I was sad. But when I convinced myself that this disease is a very minor part of my life, I got back to my feet and started enjoying my life. I don't get upset if anyone points out at my skin spots and asks me what is this "I have a skin disease called psoriasis" that's it.
I have so many good friends who inspire me, take good care of me and just be with me whenever required. There are so many people who are not really bothered about how my skin has damaged my looks. Khainza Paul
