SHOFCO, Kenya's leading
community-led nonprofit, organized the Shofco Mombasa Sun Election today,
letting people in urban slums elect representatives to tackle local needs like
clean water, health care, and sanitation.
Governor Abdulswamad Nassir joined
the vibrant event, reinforcing partnerships on water access and gender-based
violence support.
Women in colorful headscarves, youth, and elders cast votes enthusiastically, building trust through grassroots democracy in areas home to over a million without basic services.
