Today the Mukuru Community Justice Centre team worshipped with the congregation at PEFA Church in Kware. As we celebrate Easter this is an important occasion to reflect on hope, justice and the power of community.The church provided a meaningful platform to engage with residents on solidarity, human rights and the need to stand together against injustice. Spaces like these strengthen our collective voice as we continue to support survivors and demand accountability.

What does social justice mean to Wanjiku? Not the words, what does justice look like for Wanjiku. What is the role of the government in delivering Social Justice to Wanjiku? These are the questions we plan to think with in the upcoming MCJC Xspace that will take place on the eve of world social justice day on 19th February 2025 at 8pm. #SocialJusticeDayKe
It is easy to lose the original meaning and purpose of such days as World Social Justice Day. It is easy to forget that not all humans experience life from your point of privilege. For some, especially the most vulnerable, social justice is a foreign concept. For some of the most vulnerable, they are totally unaware that it is within their human right to live a life of dignity, in a world where social justice is a reality. #SocialJusticeDayKe
The report is important as it shows how not to run a county or national government response to any emergency. It is important to document the extent of decay in regard to public service delivery, in regard to lack of equipment or preparedness. #KwareTheAftermath
The Mukuru community is reeling from the discovery of 42 dumped bodies, with youths involved in the rescue struggling emotionally. The government’s response has been mixed, fueling calls for justice. Join us on 13/11/24 for a detailed report on the Kware aftermath.
This report is important because it provides a background of the prevailing conditions in our community and country during the period when the Kware bodies were discovered. In what socio-political context were the bodies discovered and retrieved? #KwareTheAftermath
Kenya government 5 months later have not communicated the resumption of body retrievals at Kware pit nor offered any support to both the victims families and volunteer divers during the process.
