Nyewasco staff proudly joined hundreds of other participants in the annual Nyeri Hospice 10km charity walk, an event deeply rooted in the community and dedicated to supporting terminally ill patients. This meaningful initiative, held every year, aims to raise crucial funds for palliative care services, while also fostering greater awareness around the importance of compassionate care for those facing life-limiting illnesses.

The event attracted a diverse group of local leaders, community members, healthcare professionals, and volunteers, all united by the shared goal of advocating for enhanced healthcare services in the Nyeri region. Their collective presence emphasized the critical need for stronger support systems for the patients, demonstrating the power of community when it comes to addressing pressing social and health challenges.

As participants walked through the streets of Nyeri, their steps carried not only hope for those in need but also a powerful message—no one should have to face terminal illness alone or without proper care. The funds raised from this event will go directly to Nyeri Hospice, enabling them to continue providing essential services, including pain management, counseling, and emotional support for patients and their families.

For Nyewasco, the walk represented more than just a charitable endeavor. It was an opportunity to actively demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of the community we serve. As a key provider of water and sanitation services in Nyeri, we understand that improving the quality of life extends beyond infrastructure—it involves addressing the broader health and social needs of individuals.

This year’s charity walk strengthened bonds across the community, with every step bringing people closer together in a shared mission of care and compassion. Through events like these, Nyewasco reinforces its role as a partner in the journey toward a healthier and more supportive environment for all.

As the day concluded, participants not only celebrated the funds and awareness raised but also the spirit of unity that defined the event. Together, they had walked not just for those battling terminal illnesses but for a future where everyone can access the compassionate care they deserve.
