My Work

KNCHR

The original KNCHR became operational in July 2003, and following the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya in August 2010, was legally reconstituted as the Kenya National Human Rights and Equality Commission (under Article 59 of the Constitution). Since then, we have been at the forefront of the movement to raise awareness about human rise and to provide support and resources towards protecting individual rights.

We have achieved many milestones and accomplishments in our journey, and we are committed to continuing our work until every individual lives freely irrespective of their status.

What I Do

 I provide a range of services to support children, elderly, disabled persons, intersex, and albinisms through:

  1. Counseling and support groups
  2. Legal aid and representation
  3. Education and training 
  4. Advocacy and policy work
  5. Support for initiatives and sensitization

I understand that Vulnerable individuals face unique challenges, and I strive to provide the support and resources that they need to live healthy, fulfilling lives in any possible way thereis.

Join the Movement to support vulnerable individuals

I invite you to join us in our mission to advocate for the rights vulnerable people in the community. There are many ways that you can get involved, including:

  1. Donating to support our work
  2. Volunteering your time and skills to train and create awareness
  3. Advocating for their rights in your workplace or school

Contact us at [hotline], and let’s work together to create a world where intersex individuals are able to live with dignity and respect.
