C.I. Chelal & Co. Advocates is thrilled to announce the start of a program under its public policy and governance banner, dubbed the Tumaini Support Campaign — a compassionate initiative dedicated to uplifting individuals and families affected by alcoholism. Through our mission of Empowering Lives & Fostering Hope, we are committed to providing psychological support, raising awareness, and advocating for vital policy reforms.
🔹 Mission: The Tumaini Support Campaign is dedicated to supporting individuals and families impacted by alcoholism. We offer empathetic guidance and community-based interventions to foster healing, resilience, and empowerment.
🔹 Vision: We envision a world where every person affected by alcoholism can find strength, understanding, and a path toward recovery. Our aim is to be a beacon of hope, providing essential support to families and individuals facing these challenges.
Our Programs & Activities:
Advocacy: Raising awareness of alcoholism’s impact on families and communities while challenging stigma.
Psychosocial Support: Offering counseling, support groups, and community initiatives to empower individuals and families on the recovery journey.
Policy Intervention: Engaging policymakers to shape a supportive, inclusive environment for all affected by alcoholism.
Why this Campaign Matters 🌍 Alcoholism is a global health crisis: An estimated 400 million people, or 7% of the world’s population aged 15 years and older, live with alcohol use disorders. Of this, 209 million people (3.7% of the adult world population) live with alcohol dependence.
In Kenya: Over 12% of the population engages in harmful alcohol consumption. The problem is particularly prevalent in Central Kenya, parts of Rift Valley, and certain coastal regions.
Alcoholism has far-reaching impacts on families, mental health, and society at large, contributing to increased domestic violence, child neglect, and strained healthcare systems. Support programs are essential to empower families, reduce stigma, and build a healthier, more resilient community.
Together, we can be a source of strength and hope for those facing the impacts of alcoholism.
Join us in spreading awareness and advocating for change! 💙
