Pastor Dorcas Rigathi has launched a wellness and rehabilitation boy child camp at the Jamhuri Showground in Nairobi.
This is after substance and alcohol addicts volunteered to be rehabilitated after undergoing a successful screening exercise.
Pastor Dorcas called on the society to embrace the addicts and treat them as part of the larger community.
Addicts with severe cases have been taken to a rehabilitation centre in Limuru while those with less severe cases will camp at the Jamhuri grounds for one month while receiving treatment.
The programme is in line with Pastor Dorcas' boy child rehabilitation agenda.
The first cohort of reformed young men who have been undergoing rehabilitation in Timau, Meru county under her office is set to graduate in a few weeks.
Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga who was also present at the Jamhuri grounds promised to place some of the reformed men in the ongoing affordable housing programme.
Nairobi Deputy Governor Njoroge Muchiri, MPs Esther Passaris, Beatrice Elachi and Lang'ata's Phelix Odiwour alias Jalang’o pledged to support the programme.
