Tessie Mudavadi, the spouse of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, has called for collaboration between the government, civil society and the private sector to support vulnerable children across the country.

Mrs Mudavadi joined hundreds of participants from all walks of life in Mombasa during the annual Wemathon held at the Butterfly Pavilion Forest Trail and organised by the Wema Centre to support healthcare for street-connected children.

Funds raised from the event, which featured running, walking, cycling and Zumba dance competitions, will go towards establishing a clinic at the centre to provide medical services for street children.
