Our Team & Leadership
Dedicated professionals committed to empowering widows and building sustainable community development.
Jacinta Makokha
Founder
"Widowhood should never define a woman's future. Every widow carries remarkable strength, resilience, and the capacity to create lasting change when given the right opportunities. JALIV was founded on the conviction that sustainable empowerment comes through economic strengthening, psychosocial support, and community solidarity. We envision widows as entrepreneurs, leaders, and agents of positive change - not through dependency, but through genuine empowerment that transforms households and communities."
