Your Parents Africa issue is ready
Real Kenyan stories and trusted family guidance, since 1986.
A Cover Story Rooted in Faith and Family
This issue’s cover feature follows John CW and Rev. Eva CW, a Nairobi ministerial couple whose partnership began with an unplanned car ride and grew into a church, a foundation, and a family of five. Their conversation with the Parents Africa team covers courtship, early hardship, and the discipline of building a marriage and ministry side by side — a candid look at what faith-driven parenting actually looks like behind the scenes.
Ten Diagnoses, One Life: A Story of Unthinkable Resilience
One of the issue’s most talked-about features profiles Wendy Gikono, a Nairobi woman managing ten overlapping autoimmune and chronic conditions, including lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, since her teenage years. Her account of navigating Kenya’s healthcare system, redefining her career plans, and building a public voice around chronic illness is both a health story and a masterclass in advocacy.
From Incarceration to Impact: Teresa Njoroge’s Second-Chance Movement
In the Heroes column, Teresa Njoroge, founder and CEO of Clean Start Africa, shares how a wrongful imprisonment reshaped her life’s work. Her organisation has since supported thousands of formerly incarcerated women and their families across Kenya, a story about dignity, reintegration, and what justice can look like when it includes a path forward.
Money Talk: Sarah Wahogo on Property, Saccos, and Financial Confidence
For mothers thinking about long-term financial security, this issue’s Finance section features Sarah Wahogo, CEO of Username Properties and Username Sacco, on how cooperative saving models are making property ownership realistic for Kenyan women, starting, in her words, with consistency rather than a windfall.
