More women aged 15-49 continue to be victims of Gender-based Violence (GBV) in Kenya, with informal settlements the worst hit in terms of cases reported to authorities or those that go unmentioned. Latest Kenya Domestic Household Survey (KDHS) puts at 38 percent, women who reported physical violence, with 14 percent of these victims falling prey to sexual violence monsters.

These are not just mere statistics but it points out to the huge injustices to women, broken family ties and hopelessness in the society.

Mrembo works towards uniting families in Kenya’s informal settlements by providing a platform where under-privileged women acquire knowledge, skills and resources necessary to build self-sufficient and prosperous lives.

We believe empowering women and girls has a multiplier effect that greatly helps to drive up economic growth and development in the country. We commit to work with Women and Youth to claim and realize their constitutional rights through our three main pillars; Educate, Empower and Transform.

These core values are critical in pushing women’s action for social change, peace, equality and justice in Kenya and the world over.
