Covid is still there. Diana took them through the evaluation of Domestic violence. Mpata one of the community members, said that since this lesson started, his home is living in peace, there is mutual understanding between the two couples. He said that this lesson has not left their community the same. Waiswa said for him, he used not to talk to his wife because she used to beat his daughter whom he came with from the past relationship, but after attending the lesson of domestic violence, he sat down with his wife and ironed their problems. They are now living happily. Sumaya said that she had given up with her marriage and she wanted to file for a devorce, but after attending the domestic violence lesson, her marriage was restored. She was too grateful to Kibo as an organization and community empowerment lessons. These testimonies were owe some. Diana thanked everyone for the wonderful updates the community gave.
