President Ruto, First Lady Rachel hold meeting with Governors' spouses
President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto on Friday hosted a breakfast for county first spouses
at State House, Nairobi.
The meeting reinforced the important role of the first
spouses in uplifting their communities.
Mama Rachel Ruto asked the first ladies to work together to
come up with ways to support Governors and their governments.
She urged them to adopt a forest in their respective counties
as part of the Office of the First Lady's objective to plant 500 million trees
and lead in promoting financial literacy among women in their counties through
table banking, supported by Joyful Women Organization's County-based Economic
Empowerment Officers.
Further, she proposed a food exchange program where first
spouses from counties with food sufficiency would support their counterparts
facing drought.
Through ‘Mama Doing Good’ and its partners, the Office of the
First Lady will offer mentorship and technical assistance to initiatives
started by the county's first spouses.
