A group of women in Isiolo aged 40 years and above have embraced a mental wellness and physical fitness initiative aimed at helping them cope with the natural challenges that come with menopause.
Through the establishment of Isiolo Women Mental Health and Fitness Network a year ago, the women meet for an hour every Monday evening and do physical workouts together, in a bid to keep their bodies fit, and also share with each other the various challenges that they encounter either at work or at their respective homes, a move that helps them cope with or find solutions to the challenges that they face.
While celebrating the World Menopause Day, the women staged a walk from the County Commissioner’s office grounds, through the streets of Isiolo town all the way to the Isiolo Catholic Cathedral grounds where they held they usual physical fitness sessions, and received advice from a mental health specialist on how to better take care of each other.
