Pastor Dorcas Rigathi landed in Embu on Monday evening for a three-day stay in the County to launch different programs and hold meetings to push her agenda for the vulnerable in the country.
Pastor Dorcas has kicked off the new year with an elaborate program that includes meetings with widows, people with disabilities, boys and men in fulfillment of the vision of Á Dignified Future for Vulnerable Populations’ in the county.
Yesterday, she started by visiting a rehabilitation centre a few kilometres from Embu town, the county headquarters.
In her efforts to rescue the boy child from alcoholism, drugs and substance abuse, Pastor Dorcas and her office partners with local rehabilitation centres in different parts of the country for those willing to undergo inpatient rehabilitation.
Later. She held a widows meeting, which aligns with the Widows & Orphans pillar under her office; the office of the spouse of the Deputy President (OSDP). She started working with widows and advocating for their empowerment since her days at Kenyatta University, having been brought up by a widow.
She then held a boy child preventive programs at the Embu University with a similar forum being expected to take place today at Kangaru High School where she will speak to the student population about the dangers of alcohol, drugs and substance abuse, mental wellness and academic excellence.
She is also expected to open a two-day medical camp geared at screening those in addictions for rehabilitation.
The medical camp will be held at the Moi Stadium in Embu town.
She will also hold a meeting with the clergy from Embu County and her environs. Pastor Dorcas works with clergy from the Christian, Muslim and Hindu circles to actualise the vision of a dignified future.
Other events lined up during her three-day working tour include visiting a home for those with mental challenges, and a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution.
Pastor Dorcas encourages an end-to-end rehabilitation program for those in addictions that includes skilling and reskilling at a TVET to produce whole men who can gain employment, start businesses and engage in entrepreneurial activities.
The OSDP will collaborate with local leaders, faith-based organisations and clergy as well as the County Government of Embu in sustaining the programs and transforming lives.
In the past, Pastor Dorcas has taken her programs to Narok, Nyeri, Kiambu, Kajiado, Bomet and Mombasa Counties.
