Loice Akinyi Omondi is a person with mental disability woman human rights defender from Kisumu County.

Loice is a survivor of mental ill-health and this was the motivation for her birthing into the promotion and protection of the rights of Person with Disabilities. She champions the rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) across the Western Region of Kenya, specifically those with mental health challenges and who need regular medicare to live a dignified life.

She believes that all medical facilities ought to offer mental health services to people suffering from mental health diseases as well as have free clinical and pharmaceuticals.

Loice is the chairperson for the people with mental disabilities in Kisumu County. She is also the chairperson and founder of the Mental Disorder Group (MCBO) and she also offers liberty and awareness through advocacy. 

Her work has revolved around supporting populations who suffer from mental disabilities. She has laos been on the forefront championing g for access to education by deserving students whose parents have mental disabilities thus unable to raise required school fees. She does this by ensuring that their plight is mainstreamed and they have access to scholarships and bursaries to facilitate their education journey. 

From the time that Loice survived the mental illness, she realised that the world was not accommodative to persons with mental illnesses. It was difficult getting identity. She realized that the understanding of disability was very thin: that the world only recognized persons who are physically handicapped as the people who are with disabilities. 

Loice has worked for many years to demystify this narrative. She has also championed access to justice by the victims of sexual and gender based violence and who suffer from mental disabilities. She has also been in the frontline fighting for their health programs, for instance the lack of an EEG machine to measure the electrical activity of the brain (in all Nyanza Hospitals). Through her efforts the county government of Kisumu recently launched medical programmes for persons with mental disabilities as well as an EEG at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga teaching and Referral Hospital.
