Community week

“Building Together for a Better Tomorrow”

This past week, the people of Kiharu came together in a spirit of unity, service, and hope to mark a vibrant and impactful Community Week — a special time dedicated to giving back, sharing love, and creating positive change in our villages, schools, and homes.

From the youngest child to the oldest elder, the week saw every hand and heart play a role in building a stronger, more compassionate Kiharu. This was not just about activities — it was about strengthening the bonds that hold our community together.

🔧 Highlights of the Week:

🧹 1. Clean-Up Campaigns

Youths, churches, and local leaders came out in numbers to clean up marketplaces, school compounds, roadsides, and rivers. From Kambirwa to Mugoiri, the message was clear: “Clean environment, healthy community.”

📚 2. School Support and Mentorship

Volunteers visited schools across the ward, offering mentorship talks, donating books, and encouraging pupils to pursue excellence. Children in Kiharu Primary, Gikandu, and Mbiri Schools were reminded that they are the future leaders of Murang’a and beyond.

❤️ 3. Visiting the Vulnerable

Groups visited the elderly, the sick, and people living with disabilities — offering foodstuffs, prayers, medical aid, and companionship. It reminded us that “Utu ni kushikana mikono.” (Humanity is holding hands.)

🛠️ 4. Community Projects

Small but mighty projects were completed: repairing school desks, digging trenches, planting trees, and repainting public buildings. Youth groups partnered with churches and well-wishers to make a visible difference.

⛪ 5. Spiritual and Cultural Uplift

Churches held joint fellowships, prayer walks, and cultural nights that brought people of all denominations together to pray for peace, development, and unity in Kiharu.

💬 Voices from the Ground:

“I felt proud helping clean the road outside our market. It’s our home — no one else will clean it for us.” – John Mwangi, Youth volunteer, Kambirwa

“It’s been long since someone visited me with food and prayer. May God bless the young people who remembered us.” – Mama Wanjiru, 78, Muguru

🤝 A Call for Continuity

Community Week is not the end — it’s the beginning of a lifestyle of service and love. Let’s keep the spirit alive in our homes, schools, and churches. Let’s be known not just for the week we gave back, but for the lives we touch every day.

📢 Thank You!
