Convo Africa Magazine Issue 004

Our fourth issue featured a story of Mr. Mwega, a man driven by compassion to help a neglected group in our community. Mr. Mwega identified a need and went out of his way to meet it. His impact on the community has been tremendous, growing from helping 36 elderly persons in 2003 to over 600 today. His work is felt across the country and beyond. One thing I’ve learned from him: Consistency always pays off.

The elderly are the most neglected group in any community. Children grow up, move out, and often forget those who gave everything for them. We leave our parents with no one to talk to and to take care of their needs. As they age, they develop issues with health, memory, finances, speed, and social lives.

They are unable to keep up with all that is happening around them, and at this point, every ageing parent requires their children. They took care of you when you couldn’t; now it’s your time to give back the love and care they showed you. We celebrate Mr. Mwega for his good work.

We also have other amazing stories and informative articles featured in issue 4 of Convo Magazine. I know you’ll find this issue interesting and helpful.
