Kituo is the most experienced legal aid organization in Kenya, having positively impacted on the lives of many marginalized people and communities in Kenya. KITUO’s history dates back to over forty years (40) of change through provision of legal aid and education towards the vision of access to justice for all. With a population of over 40 million people of which about half live below the poverty line, many Kenyans (80%) are rural dwellers who cannot afford to pay for justice, including that provided by lawyers/advocates. As such, access to justice remains a pipe dream in Kenya to a majority of the poor and marginalized people since Kenya is still far from achieving this goal due to weak policy, institutional and legislative frameworks. Other factors which inhibit opportunities to access justice for most Kenyans include poverty, ignorance and limited awareness on human rights.

Who is responsible for making our digital spaces safer, more inclusive and respectful of our rights, especially as Kenya approaches the 2027 General Election?

Kituo Cha Sheria is participating in the National Dialogue on Platform Governance and Digital Rights, convened by Amnesty International Kenya and UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa, to explore how online platforms can address online harms while protecting freedom of expression and digital rights.

As the country prepares for the elections, tackling misinformation, hate speech and online abuse is essential to protecting civic participation, informed public debate and democratic freedoms.

Every worker has the right to fair remuneration, reasonable working conditions, to form or join a trade union, and to go on strike as provided by law.

Knowing your rights is the first step towards protecting them.

Some of the clients we support at Kituo come to us carrying experiences of trauma that require more than legal advice.

For many, access to justice also means having the right mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to help them cope, heal and navigate their justice journey.

In our work, we are strengthening the integration of legal assistance with MHPSS to ensure that support responds to the whole person and their lived experiences.
