Kitui Women Prison has made history following the launch of Africa’s first Holistic Prison Syllabus and the Early Years Developmental Center (EYDC) by the Alpha New Beginnings Foundation under its Enablement Programme.
The groundbreaking initiative, developed by Prof. Dr. Sheila Kalunga, is designed to support children living in prison with their mothers, their siblings, and children from the surrounding community.
Guided by the belief that every child deserves quality early childhood development, the programme integrates education, trauma-informed psychological support, martial arts, and creative learning to nurture children’s holistic growth.
During the launch, Clinical Psychologist Zopporah Mueni conducted psychosocial sessions to help children heal from trauma and express their emotions, while Sensei Lona Abiero, Founder of Kaizen Martial Arts Club, demonstrated how karate can build discipline, confidence, resilience, and mental well-being.
Organisers described the initiative as a landmark step toward social inclusion, emotional healing, and giving vulnerable children the opportunity to thrive regardless of their circumstances.
