Wangu Kanja Foundation (WKF) is an experienced-informed and survivor led feminist non-profit national organization founded in 2005. The organization is domiciled in Nairobi Kenya but has footprints in all the 47 counties in Kenya.

The organisation focuses on addressing sexual violence with regards to prevention, protection and response. At the core of WKF’s work is addressing the needs of survivors of sexual violence in Kenya and beyond by engaging in holistic interventions with an aim of restoring their dignity and that of their families and friends.

WKF believes that by shifting social norms that propagate sexual violence, enhancing service delivery and ensuring accountability by all stakeholders can result in the prevention and response to sexual violence leading to dignified healing, recovery and resilience amongst survivors.

The organization identifies itself as a centre for excellence that catalyses action towards curbing sexual violence by applying myriad strategies including but not limited to community mobilization, awareness, partnerships, research, innovation, capacity strengthening lobbying and policy advocacy, socio-economic empowerment, and access to comprehensive care and support for survivors of sexual violence.

WKF is the convenor of the Survivors of Sexual Violence in Kenya (SSVKenya) Network which brings together a unified movement of survivors to amplify their voices to address all forms of sexual violence across the country.
