A Mother’s Mission to Raise Awareness and End Epilepsy Myths: Daily Nation Feature

NeuroReach Africa is honoured to be featured in the Daily Nation in a heartfelt story about Dr Phyllis Kimani’s journey as a mother of two daughters living with epilepsy and her mission to create awareness and end stigma.

What began as a personal journey has grown into a commitment to empower communities with knowledge, challenge harmful myths and ensure that children and adults living with epilepsy are understood, supported and treated with dignity.

The story reminds us that behind every awareness campaign, community training and school outreach are real families, real courage and real hope. Dr Kimani’s experience fuels our belief that no one should face epilepsy alone, and that change begins with honest conversation.

Through NeuroReach Africa, we believe that awareness is the first step towards change. Every article, every school visit and every trained community health promoter helps replace fear with facts and isolation with inclusion.

We are grateful to Daily Nation for helping us amplify this message and to every family, partner and supporter who walks this journey with us.

Together, let us break the silence and end epilepsy stigma.

Research. Innovation. Impact.
