Baridi kwa Baridi Women CBO continues to strengthen its commitment to child protection through meaningful partnerships, knowledge sharing and community engagement under the Linda Mtoto Project.
On 29 July 2026, Baridi kwa Baridi joined key stakeholders in the official launch of the Free Pentecostal Fellowship in Kenya (FPFK) Joint Learning Project. The launch brought together stakeholders from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Department of Health and Social Care, Busia County Department of Education and Vocational Training, the media, civil society organisations and child protection actors, in
Implemented under the Linda Mtoto Project, the three-year Joint Learning Project is a capacity-building and knowledge-generation initiative designed to strengthen the child protection system through evidence-based learning, research and collaboration. The initiative also complements the Linda Mtoto and Gender Advocacy projects by creating opportunities for different actors to learn from one another and work collectively to address challenges affecting children.
Taking the Conversation to the Community
Building on this engagement, on 14 August 2026, FPFK convened a community dialogue at the Assistant Chief’s Office, bringing together community members and a wide range of child protection stakeholders.
The dialogue provided an open space to highlight and discuss cross-cutting issues affecting children and communities, while exploring ways to strengthen partnerships and collective action in supporting children and families.
Baridi kwa Baridi had the opportunity to present its work in child protection, sharing the organisation’s experiences and contribution towards creating safer and more supportive environments for children.
The meeting brought together community members, the Department of Children’s Services, Child Protection Volunteers (CPVs), village administrators, Nyumba Kumi representatives, Ligurus, the Chief and Sub-Chief from Bukhayo West, Childline Kenya, and representatives from the Teachers Service Commission, including Madam Mary Mashisia.
Building Stronger Child Protection Systems Together
These engagements reaffirm the importance of collaboration between communities, government institutions, civil society organisations and other child protection actors. Protecting children requires more than individual efforts; it requires coordinated action, shared knowledge and meaningful community participation.
Baridi kwa Baridi remains committed to working alongside partners and communities to strengthen child protection systems, amplify community voices and promote the wellbeing, safety and rights of every child.
Through initiatives such as the Linda Mtoto Project and the FPFK Joint Learning Project, we continue to learn, connect and work together towards communities where every child is protected, supported and given the opportunity to thrive.
