The Theme of the event was: Eliminating Harmful Practices affecting children: Progress on Policy and Practice since 2013. The Program was held at the Jukumu Letu children`s Center in Ngong, Kenya which takes care of 100 children from the surrounding slum area and also serves as a daycare for working mothers who drop their children in the morning and picks them in the late afternoon.
The program involved feeding the babies and sharing True Mother`s love with them and also gave donations of foodstuff to the children`s center.
The WFWP Kenya officials also introduced the Vision and mission of the Founders of the WFWP and also explained the significance of the day to the staff members. This was followed by character Education for the older children and an introduction of Tongil Moo Do Martial Arts which the children really enjoyed.
