As the nation prepares to celebrate Madaraka Day, personnel from the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) demonstrated their commitment not only to national security but also to social responsibility, through a series of coordinated community outreach initiatives across Homa Bay County.
Led by Parade Commander Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Musau, the Commanding Officer, 7 Kenya Rifles, KDF personnel engaged in impactful Civil-Military Corporation (CIMIC) activities aimed at supporting vulnerable members of society.
In a heart-warming show of solidarity, units from the Kenya Army, Kenya Air Force, and Kenya Navy visited three different children’s institutions within the county, bringing with them essential supplies and spending quality time with the children.
Kenya Army personnel visited the Ndhiwa Children’s Home under the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ Kenya (ALJCK) in Ndhiwa. The team interacted with the children, delivered food items, clothing, and learning materials, and took time to encourage the young ones in their education and personal growth.
Simultaneously, Kenya Air Force personnel made their way to the Homa Bay Children’s Home in Homa Bay Town, where they offered similar donations and engaged in meaningful mentorship sessions with the children.
The Kenya Navy personnel visited Trobarn Children’s Academy in Ndiru, Rangwe, where they also provided much-needed supplies and spent time uplifting the spirits of the children through storytelling, games, and motivational talks.
The CIMIC initiative highlighted the KDF’s enduring commitment to service beyond the battlefield, demonstrating compassion, unity, and national pride. These engagements not only enriched the lives of the children but also reinforced the KDF’s role as a people-centered institution dedicated to the well-being of all Kenyans.
