Our Story
The National Police Wives Welfare Association (NAPOWA) was established in 2014 as a response to the growing needs of police wives and widows across Kenya. Our founder, Jenetrix Otieno, recognized the unique challenges faced by women in police families and envisioned an organization that would provide support, empowerment, and community.
What began as a small support group in Nairobi has grown into a nationwide organization with chapters in multiple counties. Through dedication and perseverance, NAPOWA has developed comprehensive programs that address the economic, social, and emotional needs of our members.
Today, NAPOWA stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for police wives and widows, offering skills training, health advocacy, crisis support, and community building initiatives that have transformed thousands of lives across Kenya.
