Kwanpud KENYA staunchly believes the issues of people who use drugs [PWUD] are beyond treatment and harm reduction programme. Social reintegration and destiny connection is the spirit of PWUD growth.

Early today through support of The Kwale Department Of Social Services & Talent Management [SSTM] County Executive Committee Member [CECM] Hon. Francisca Kilonzo, convened a meeting with PWUD who are Diani Beach Operators together with CECM for Kwale Department Of Tourism and Trade Hon. Michael Mutua and Director for SSTM. We held a very candid and open conversation concerning the economic development and how to manage the environment for the PWUD community to hustle without tussle.

The two departments pledged their support in seeing the bright future of our community. We really appreciate the leadership of H.E. Fatuma Achani- Governor Kwale County for constituting an Executive Committee that is ready to listen and engage with the community.

We remain committed to ensuring our members access all avenues of growth and prosperity. Much appreciation for UHAI EASHRI funding.

KwaNPUD KENYA takes advantage of this to motivate women who use drugs [WUD] to seek mentorship from the female leadership within our great County of Kwale.
