On 13th August 2026, the Linda Mtoto Project conducted a sensitization forum for hotel and bar owners in Busia County, highlighting their critical role in protecting children from abuse, exploitation, trafficking and other forms of violence.

The session focused on children’s rights, child protection laws and policies, safeguarding, child labour, sexual exploitation, trafficking, and responsible reporting of suspected cases.

Participants were encouraged to create child-safe environments, remain vigilant, and promptly report suspected cases to relevant authorities and child protection actors. The engagement also emphasized the importance of collaboration among business owners, communities, law enforcement and other child protection stakeholders.

Through such engagements, the Linda Mtoto Project continues to strengthen community responsibility and collective action to protect every child.

Together, let us make our hotels, businesses and communities safer places for children.
