Today marks the Golden Age of Strategic PR, a shift built on research and sharpened by innovation. Understanding audiences, testing ideas, adapting with creativity: that's what turns messages into lasting impressions. Happy World PR Day. #WorldPRDay2026 #GoldenAgeOfPR #StrategicComms #LastingImpressions – at Nairobi, Kenya

It's done, and it was historic! On Friday, we proudly stood alongside @ahfkenya, @nsdcc_kenya, @NASCOP, and the @MediaCouncilK to host the inaugural Voices of Impact: HIV & STIs Reporting Media Awards 2026, Kenya's first national journalism awards dedicated entirely to HIV and STI storytelling. This was never just an award ceremony. It was a national nudge, a reminder, as AHF Kenya Country Director Dr Samuel Kinyanjui put it, that "Kenya's HIV story still matters." Congratulations to Millicent Kubai (KBC): Overall Winner & HIV & STIs Media Champion – Kenya 2026 🏆, Nathan Ochunge (Willow Health Media): 1st Runner-Up, and to Mercy Kahenda and Rosa Agutu of The Standard, who took home Print Journalism and TV Feature/Documentary honours respectively. These journalists chose dignity over sensationalism, consent over clickbait, and truth over stigma, at a moment when new HIV infections among adolescents have spiked 34% in a single year. Words shape policy. Headlines shape public will. Stories change behaviour. We're honoured to have curated and produced an evening that didn't just celebrate journalism, it reignited a movement. Here's to every newsroom that decides HIV is still news. #VoicesOfImpact2026 #ItsNotOver #EndAIDS2030

Tonight, the spotlight shines on the storytellers, journalists, and content creators whose voices are shaping the conversation on #HIV and #STIs and driving change where it matters most. @CauseImpactPR is proud to be behind an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence in health reporting at the #HIVAndSTIsMediaAwards. #LastingImpressions

This is such an exhilarating experience. We call it Creation in Motion. An art immersion with films showing from 3 different countries; Kenya, Benin and South Africa. #AfricaForwardSummit #LastingImpressions

Eid Mubarak! May this blessed day bring peace, joy, and endless blessings to you and your loved ones. We celebrate unity, gratitude, and hope. #EidMubarak #Eid2026

Reflecting on the #IWD2026 keynote by @ktikolo at the @KingdomBankKE dinner. She reminded us that giving isn't just about charity, it’s an investment with a powerful multiplier effect. Her call to action for women centres on three pillars: 1. Give mentorship 2. Give yourself the gift of learning 3. Give collaboration a chance Which of these three resonates most with your journey this year? #GivetoGain

What a fitting close to the inaugural #YSDF2026. Over the past two days, leaders from government, industry, training institutions, and development partners have come together to confront one of Kenya’s most pressing challenges: aligning skills development with the labour market's needs. From honest reflections on the youth employment challenge to the launch of the Dual Apprenticeship Programme, the forum has shown the power of collaboration in shaping practical solutions. As the conversations conclude, one thing is clear: building a responsive skills system requires continued partnership between education, industry, and policy. Here’s to turning dialogue into action #YSDF2026.

A wonderful demonstration of the importance of collaborating and working together while leveraging the strengths of different actors. We are different, and that's okay! #YSDF2026

Dr Sidita Dibra, Advisor, Skills Development, @Swisscontact, says the first phase of PropelA generated measurable outcomes across participation, training capacity, employment, and private-sector engagement. 430 apprentices have been enrolled in the program. 102 apprentices were enrolled in 2025 alone, demonstrating growth and continued demand for the program. Graduation numbers Out of the enrolled apprentices: 146 apprentices have graduated from the program so far. Female participation Gender inclusion is an important objective of PropelA. Among the plumbing graduates, 35.2% are female. #YSDF2026
