Pastor Dorcas To Roll Out 'Health Villages' in Kenya After Israel Visit

Pastor Dorcas Rigathi will roll out a ‘health village’ for treatment and rehabilitation after she was invited to Israel to benchmark on the best model of such villages that she plans to set up in Kenya.

Dorcas noted that the program addresses the holistic approach of rehabilitation and reform from drugs and substance abuse. 

“I see there is hope even in our country, and I believe the kind of treatment that is going on here is a holistic kind of a program that addresses the individual in an in-depth way. It is a home where the people who come here go out having been initiated into an independent life," she stated. 

Under such a program addicts are taken to a home set up treatment and rehabilitation centers that offers a holistic approach to their road to recovery.

The facilities offer freedom to the addicts during the treatment period which lasts for 5-8 months. 

Pastor was invited by Well-Being International: Global Advisory Group who have pledged to support her course.

“The concept removes the mentality of enslaving, gives them freedom and validates their dreams," Pastor Dorcas noted. 

More than 120 youth from various parts of the country are currently under rehabilitation in Timau and other centers across the country under her program.

Pastor Dorcas toured KFAR IZUN (Which means a village of the balance) and YEMIN ORDE-The village way which has transformed many youth in Israel. 

The facilities also offer skills to the youth before they are integrated back to the community.

Well-Being International: Global Advisory Group’s Prof.Yossi Harel-Fisch said the model has been successful in Israel and rescued many youths.
