Pastor Dorcas Gachagua helped rescue former KTN journalist Johanna Chacha.
Chacha who was a senior reporter at KTN and K24 sunk into alcoholism after being fired in 2016.
However, Pastor Dorcas gave him another shot in life through her rehabilitation program.
Chacha enrolled in the program and is set to graduate making a milestone into his soberness journey.
Speaking to the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) the journalist lauded Pastor Dorcas for rescuing him and helping find purpose in life.
We have learnt a lot about life from the rehabilitation program. It was my own decision to join the program and I don’t regret it at all. I can see I have now regained some respect from my friends,” he said.
He is now working as a volunteer under AWAKE CHRISTIAN INITIATIVE a group that has been doing mentorship programs to high school students.
“If how I started my work without being an alcoholic is how I maintained, I could have been very far by now. I remember people we started with in the media industry, the likes of John Allan Namu, Stephen Ndumbi, MP Mohamed Ali, some have even started their own companies,” he said.
“I have learnt but learnt the hard way, but I have reformed,” he stated.
Hundreds of other youth have benefited from the rehabilitation program ran by the Second Lady.
Dorcas plans to build more facilities across the country to help eliminate substance abuse.
