As psycho-social challenges among police officers hit a record high, wives of the officers have renewed their efforts to help their husbands cope through the National Police Wives Welfare Association (Napowa).

Napowa chairperson Sofia Ng’ikol said they started the initiative that brings together wives of police officers from across the country to fight growing mental health issues among the officers.
