Jay Abbas




My name is Jay Abbas .I am a counselor and an artist at Diplomats For Health In Resilient Community (DFH-RC). Before joining DFH-RC, I was going through depression which made me anti social .I was introduced to the organisation by a program called Kumekucha Quest were I meet people from different places and got to interact with them and as the session went on, I got the opportunity to join the organisation through it's other programs such as men's metal health which enlightened me and helped me realize that there alot of people going through the same thing as I was . I became a member and started attending the sessions and from it I started facilitating the programs and played the role of a social worker.

As a social worker I assisted in facilitating the sessions along with the counselors who also offered counseling   to  street children, street families and the community.

From my hard work, I was elected as DFH-RC's CEO and from it I have been able to help many  people in my community and even out side my community. 
out of the black and white world I am proud to say I managed to put some colours in by helping others see the brighter side of life and the endless possibilities it holds hoping in five years to come, I will have made not only a better community, city or country but a better Nation and better World , quoting Buddha" What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”

Empowering Digital Defenders: My Experience at the BAKE Kenya Training on Harmful Speech and Digital Literacy

Recently, I had the privilege of attending a compelling and transformative training hosted by the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE). The sessions opened my eyes to the subtle and dangerous realities of harmful digital content—misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation—and the urgent need for digital responsibility in our communities.

Another key focus was hate speech. We delved into its forms, root causes, and practical solutions, strengthening our understanding o...

From the moment children are born, subtle rules begin to shape their world—rules rooted in long-standing gender norms. Boys are nudged toward trucks and toy swords, while girls are handed dolls and kitchen sets. These assignments may seem harmless, even playful, but over time they form the scaffolding of powerful expectations about how individuals should behave, think, and feel based solely on their gender.
