Our history

Five years of learning by doing.

K-HAKI’s public history is built from its registration record and dated activity reports. Sensitive case details stay private.

  1. Registered in Kibra

    Kituo cha HAKI Kibera received its community-based organisation registration on 7 January.

  2. Citizenship, schools and interfaith dialogue

    School debates and community forums connected legal identity, religious inclusion and young people’s participation.

  3. Forums, radio and rapid response

    Reports record work on youth safety, femicide, gender equality, rights monitoring and community response.

  4. Reflection and responsible storytelling

    The team reviewed its systems and joined a regional media engagement on reporting statelessness.

  5. Solidarity and stronger systems

    K-HAKI continued civic-solidarity work while strengthening governance, planning and documentation.
