Empowering Women with Disabilities
"Where society saw limitation, Halima saw leadership."
Halima’s foundational work through Women of Hope Abled Differently has transformed the lives of hundreds of women living with disabilities. This initiative is more than aid—it’s a blueprint for empowerment.
- Vocational Empowerment: Women receive skill-based training in areas like tailoring, digital literacy, craft-making, and agribusiness. These programs are run in collaboration with local trainers and NGOs.
- Accessible Financing: The program links participants to micro-loan institutions with friendly terms and zero collateral requirements.
- Advocacy: Halima continuously engages county and national leaders to improve policies around disability inclusion and economic access.
Impact Vision:
To build a self-sustaining, nationwide network of empowered women with disabilities who are economically independent and politically active.
Community Health & Wellness Campaigns

With healthcare still inaccessible in many rural communities, Halima launched rotating Wellness Camps in villages across her constituency. These camps are fully-funded day clinics offering:
- Maternal Health Checkups
- Cervical & Breast Cancer Screening
- Mental Health Counseling
- Hygiene & Nutrition Workshops
Strategic Partners:
Collaborations with Red Cross, AMREF, and university medical students have kept costs low and impact high.
Impact Vision:
To reduce preventable illnesses and maternal mortality by 40% in target regions within five years.
Youth Engagement & Talent Development
The youth are not tomorrow’s leaders—they are today’s engine."
Halima believes in unlocking the potential of young people through strategic exposure, mentorship, and resources. Her Creative Leaders Hub provides:
- Annual Youth Bootcamps that teach leadership, digital entrepreneurship, coding, and financial literacy.

Political Literacy & Grassroots Mobilization
"Change begins when people understand the power of their voice."
Halima travels village to village, holding civic education forums to empower citizens with knowledge on:
- How to vote wisely and why it matters.
- What devolution means for their everyday lives.
- How to hold leaders accountable and participate in governance.
She also runs an SMS-based civic tips system and distributes civic education flyers translated into local dialects.
