Justice Nest

On 15 May 2026, in commemoration of the International Day of Families, Justice Nest in conjuction with Kenya Prison Services, will host the family reconnection event on International Day of Families at Lang'ata Women's Prison in partnership with Kenya Prisons Service.

The initiative seeks to bring children of incarcerated mothers to visit their mothers in prison. This will seek to restore moments of connection between mothers and their children by creating a safe and dignified space for them to interact, share a meal, play, and reconnect. At the heart of the campaign is a simple but powerful reminder that to a child, she is still mom.

The event brings together organizations and partners who believe in restorative justice, dignity, healing, and family-centered approaches within the justice system.

Justice Nest is grateful for the support and collaboration of its partners, including Zubacx Africa Group, whose people-centered technology approach prioritizes meaningful human experiences; Pesi Pesa Capital, which supports small and medium enterprises through accessible financial services; and Javans Coffee Ltd, a proudly Kenyan company championing quality coffee while supporting farmers and livelihoods across the coffee value chain.

Additional support has been provided by Powercom Limited, a leader in energy and telecommunications infrastructure; Wangu Kanja Foundation, which works to restore dignity and support healing for survivors of sexual violence and their families; and Indomie Kenya, whose contribution supports the wellbeing and experience of participating families.

Justice Nest also appreciates the partnership of MASH foundation trust, Luxe and Allure Events, and PILLAR AUDIO VISUAL SERVICES, whose support is helping create a welcoming and memorable environment for children and mothers during the event.

The initiative is further strengthened by Irvine's Group, whose long-standing commitment to communities across Africa continues to create opportunities and support livelihoods, and The Nairobi West Hospital, whose commitment to accessible and compassionate healthcare reflects the importance of dignity and care for all.

Through this collective effort, Justice Nest and its partners hope to remind families that connection, love, and belonging can still exist even in spaces marked by separation.

The organization welcomes additional partners, volunteers, and supporters to join in making the event meaningful for every child and mother involved.

At Justice Nest, we continue to witness a powerful truth: justice is not only about courts and punishment. It can also look like healing, reconciliation, and second chances.

This month’s newsletter shares how our mediation work inside prisons is helping mothers reconnect with families, neighbours resolve conflict, and women return home with dignity. In April alone, 11 of 16 mothers released from Shimo la Tewa Women Prison secured their freedom through mediation. Behind every number is a restored relationship and renewed hope.

We are proud to be building a justice system that restores lives, strengthens families, and creates safer communities.

Stella’s story is not unique, and that is exactly the problem.

A single mother, Stella’s life was disrupted by a misunderstanding that escalated into a criminal case. Despite ensuring her child received medical care, a brief absence to inform her employer led to her arrest on allegations of neglect. She spent seven months in custody.

Like many women, Stella initially believed her situation was beyond help. Through the Justice Nest Prison Paralegal Program, she was supported to present her case, and was finally released. Her story reflects a broader reality: many mothers behind bars are not only fighting for their freedom, but for their families. Read the full story here: https://www.justicenest.org/stories-details/29

On May 15, 2026, we will mark the International Day of Families at Lang’ata Women’s Prison by creating a moment of connection, where children can visit their incarcerated mothers, share a meal, exchange care packages, and simply be together. For many, this will be the closest thing to a “visiting day” they’ve known in a long time.
