Kenyan Churches Tackle Suicide Crisis Among Older Men
Original: Kenyan Churches Combat Abandonment, Suicide Among Older Men
Churches in Kenya are mobilising to address the abandonment and suicide of older men, a largely overlooked crisis in the country. Christian communities are providing support networks and outreach to elderly men who have been left isolated by their families, as faith leaders step in where social services have fallen short and raise awareness of men's mental health struggles.
Why now: The story highlights a growing and under-reported suicide and isolation crisis affecting older Kenyan men, drawing attention to the church's expanding social role.
