Message from Napowa Chairperson
My dream and ambition is to see a better life for police wives and their families than what I see now.
I know I cannot resolve their problems but I can resolve their problem by empowering them and bringing them together as one family.
A better life for every police wife is a better world, this forms part of the conception of the national police wives association.
National police wives association was launched after an intensive fact finding mission which revealed then that an average of 700 police men died annually through natural and other causes.
When this happens in the face of the biting Kenyan economy, police wives and their children more often than not can be described as "sheep without a shepherd".
By empowering these women it will lighten their burden and ensure a better welfare for their children.
Every week national police wives meet at their camps to find solutions that would help police widows and their children after their spouses die in the line of duty.
National police wives are doing everything in their power to equip themselves with skills to help them set aside widow's trust fund to set up small businesses to ensure a source of livelihood in the absence of the family's hitherto bread winner, scholarships are also needed to the deserving children of police widows to enable them obtain a good education and grow up to become useful citizen.
Lastly our enlightenment campaign focuses on knowledge of the scourge the right attitude to prevent and curtail its spread, practices and behavior of officers and men of the Kenyan police and their spouses as well as other important information on HIV/AIDS that has been designed to beam light of knowledge into the dark recesses of ignorance on the epidemic in order to build an HIV/AIDS free Kenyan society.
