Enhancing Maternal and Child Health

Women’s Economic Empowerment

Through various women-led enterprise programs, the county government is facilitating access to credit, training, and markets, enabling mothers to become active participants in the local economy.
These efforts are designed not only to uplift individual households but also to catalyze broader economic growth.
Education, Nutrition, and Social Protection
Governor Guyo reaffirmed his administration’s focus on improving access to education and nutrition, especially for young mothers and children in underserved areas.
Social protection initiatives, including support for vulnerable women and orphans, have also been scaled up to cushion mothers from the harshest impacts of poverty and marginalization.
“To all the mothers of Isiolo and beyond — your strength inspires us, your love uplifts us,” said the Governor. “We see you, we value you, and we are working every day to support you.”
The Mother’s Day message not only served as a celebration of motherhood but also as a strategic reaffirmation of Governor Guyo’s inclusive governance philosophy.
