Putting People First
What we do
Hakijamii envisions a society that guarantees the protection, promotion and fulfillment of all rights for all people and is, therefore, free from discrimination, exploitation and injustice. It intervenes to amplify the voices of vulnerable communities to effectively and directly participate in advocating for the realization of their economic and social rights. Throughout its existence, the organization has been guided by the goal of promoting people’s organizations and social movements to engage in promotion of human rights-centered practices and policies. Hakijamii’s work is anchored on Article 43 of the Constitution of Kenya with a focus on Land & Housing, Education, Health, Water & Sanitation. It applies various strategies, which include social mobilization, networking, awareness raising, public interest litigation (PIL) and research and budget analysis to achieve its objectives.
