ActionAid International Kenya Details
ActionAid International Kenya (AAIK) is a member of the ActionAid Federation. ActionAid works in more than 43 countries all over the world, in the places where we can make the biggest impact. We tackle poverty and denial of human rights at the local level, and we challenge the causes behind them locally, nationally, and globally. In Kenya, AA works in solidarity with women and people living in poverty and exclusion; connecting their voices, sharing ideas, spreading inspiration, campaigning, advocating, and influencing public policy to eradicate poverty and ensure social justice. ActionAid International Kenya has a presence in 18 counties in Kenya, with 12 Local Rights Programmes, programme area in Isiolo, Kitui, Nairobi and Mombasa; and two Global Platforms in Nairobi and Nanyuki. Since 1972, AAIK has worked through Partnerships to build the capacity of women living in poverty and exclusion and their institutions and solidarity groups, to challenge rights violations but with staff at the forefront.ActionAid believes that social justice can be achieved through purposeful individual and collective action to shift unequal and unjust power, whether it is hidden, visible or invisible, from the household level to local, national, and international levels. Active and organized people develop and drive change, which will transform power when led by those who are directly affected, by poverty and injustice. Women, and particularly those living in poverty and exclusion pay the highest price of unjust and patriarchal societies and must play a central role as change agents. Young people are critical drivers of change.
