About 180 people benefited from two separate birthday out reaches organized as a give back to the community in relation to celebrating the birth of a mother and her daughter respectively. 97 of these were mothers while 80 were children including 30 new born babies. However, this charity did not come from a politician nor someone with any hope of becoming one in the near future.
The help offered to the different beneficiaries is not directly tagged to any civil society organization, but rather any form of help that would require them to be involved is directly sought for. For instance, issues concerning girl child abuse require direct connection of police and other agencies which can conduct an immediate rescue. This relates to child protection units like Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development not forget the Ministry of Education and Sports.
