Comedian and activist Eric Omondi has announced a campaign to honour women living with endometriosis while supporting media personality Natalie Githinji, who has publicly shared her experience with the condition.
Omondi announced in a video shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, August 23, 2026, after visiting Githinji in hospital.
He revealed that an event will be held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) on September 27, where Githinji will be unveiled as an ambassador for endometriosis awareness in East Africa.
Omondi calls for support
According to Omondi, the event will bring together women living with endometriosis and those seeking information about the condition. He said the campaign will focus on creating awareness, supporting women battling the disease and encouraging young girls and women to get tested.
“On the 27th of September, we will be celebrating all the soldiers of Endo as we unveil our Major General, Natalie Githinji,” Omondi said.
The comedian also called on anyone living with endometriosis to attend the event, saying testing will be available for young girls and women.
He said the campaign is aimed at helping Kenyans understand the condition and encouraging early action. “We will create awareness, and anyone who has endometriosis, I’m requesting you to come. And there will be testing for young girls and women,” he stated.
Natalie’s endometriosis journey
Githinji has for years used her public platform to speak about her experience with endometriosis and raise awareness about the condition. The media personality has openly discussed the pain she has experienced and has encouraged women dealing with persistent menstrual pain and other symptoms to seek medical attention.
Through social media posts and interviews, she has also helped bring conversations around endometriosis into the public space, particularly at a time when many women continue to struggle with getting a diagnosis and appropriate care.
Omondi said the September event will also allow Githinji to share more about her journey while allowing other women living with the condition to tell their stories.
He described Githinji as a key voice in the campaign and said she would be unveiled as the official ambassador for endometriosis in East Africa. “We will unveil Natalie as the official ambassador of Endo in East Africa. She is a Major General. We salute you, Natalie, and all the women battling Endo,” Omondi said.
Remembering Jahmby Koikai
The campaign also comes as the entertainment industry continues to remember the late media personality Jahmby Koikai, who spent years speaking publicly about her own battle with endometriosis.
Koikai died in June 2024 while receiving treatment at Nairobi Hospital after living with the condition for years. Before her death, she had consistently called for greater awareness and investment in specialised care for people living with endometriosis.
Omondi recalled her death while appealing, saying the country should do more to support women living with the condition. “We lost Njambi to this, and we aren’t losing anyone else,” he said.
The September 27 event is therefore expected to combine awareness, testing and personal stories as campaigners continue pushing for greater understanding and better support for women living with endometriosis.
