What Haki Nawiri Afrika does

Haki Nawiri Afrika is a Kenyan non-profit social justice organization headquartered in Nairobi, operating across four programmatic pillars: Food Justice, Climate Justice, Gender Justice, and Youth Engagement. The organization delivers grassroots education and training programs to marginalized communities, smallholder farmers, women, and university students in Kenya, with specific programming in Indigenous Peoples territories. Core methodology centers on agroecology training for food systems transformation, combined with human rights education, child rights and protection programs, paralegal training for women, and policy advocacy at forums including the UN Committee on World Food Security.

The organization operates a community-led go-to-market model, reaching beneficiaries through direct outreach, university partnerships (Kenyatta University, Catholic University of Eastern Africa), school programs (in collaboration with Kariobangi Social Justice Centre and Landscapes of Hope), and Indigenous community networks. It maintains an extensive partnership ecosystem of over 20 organizations, including flagship affiliations with the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa and the Korogocho Community Justice Center. The organization publishes reports, educational materials, and multimedia content distributed through its website and social media channels, and has been featured in Global Citizen, Shado Magazine, and IPS News.

The business model is grant and donation-funded, with no commercial pricing or earned revenue streams disclosed. With 8 employees, the organization has sensitized 1,000 farmers on agroecology, educated 900 children on child rights, trained 600 youth on human rights, and planted 150 trees cumulatively. Leadership is anchored by activist and co-founder Leonida Odongo, a Kenyan climate activist and food justice educator. The organization does not offer technology products, software platforms, or digital services.
