- The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Organization of Kenya (ADOK) hosted an awareness raising walk at Karura Forest on the 9th of June 2018. The campaign was called Walk the mind (AND BODY). The main objective was to educate the public on dementia. Other aims were to support caregivers for persons with dementia and to promote social inclusion of those living with any form of dementia. The walk was organized in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, and was also used as a channel to raise funds for ADOK (Capital Digital Media, 2018).
- Demystifying dementia awareness campaign presented by the CEO and founder of the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Organization Kenya (ADOK) was hosted in September 2018. The show targeted all Kenyans and was aired live through five local media stations – 4 English speaking and one in Kikuyu language (local dialect ) (Demystifying dementia, 2018).
