Christianity Today reported on Oct. 8, 2026, that churches in Kenya are working to address abandonment and suicide among older men. The available excerpt focuses on Victor Wanjala, a father of eight from Trans-Nzoia County.
Wanjala worked for nearly 40 years as a customs officer, according to the report. The job allowed him to pay for his children’s education and provide financial support to relatives. After he lost his employment in 2010, the excerpt says, he also lost his savings and marriage.
The supplied material ends mid-sentence and does not provide details about the churches’ programs, the scale of the issue, or Wanjala’s subsequent circumstances. Those points cannot be established from the excerpt alone.
