Mji Wa Huruma, home for the elderly located at Karura Ward.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nestled in the serene Karura Ward, just bordering the Runda Estate, lies Mji Wa Huruma<\/strong>, a haven which means Home of Mercy<\/em>. Founded in 1968, this elderly home has been a sanctuary for the abandoned and forgotten, hosting 42 elderly men and women who have no other place to call home. The residents are often referred by hospitals or county social workers after being found in dire situations\u2014on the streets, in hospitals, or in other precarious circumstances.<\/p>\n

Despite its noble mission, Mji Wa Huruma faces significant challenges. With limited resources, the home struggles to meet basic needs, including access to food and medicine for its residents. These challenges underline the critical need for support to sustain the dignity and well-being of the elderly in their care.<\/p>\n

Recognizing this need, the Union Crest Bank has stepped forward in the spirit of community and compassion. The SACCO signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Nairobi County Government<\/a> (NCCG) to initiate a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project aimed at transforming Mji Wa Huruma.<\/p>\n

The first initiative under this collaboration is the construction of a new ablution block. With groundworks already underway, this project is designed to meet the specific needs of the elderly, providing them with a safe and hygienic environment. It is a vital step towards improving their daily lives and addressing one of the home\u2019s most pressing needs.<\/p>\n

This is just the beginning. Over the next three years, Union Crest Bank will roll out additional initiatives, focusing on holistic improvements that cater to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the residents.<\/p>\n

With this initiative, the Union Crest Bank reaffirms its dedication to uplifting lives and building a better society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
