About Us

Empowering environmental
change in Kenya.

Protecting Kenya's environment through civic education, advocacy and litigation.

JustAct — citizens taking environmental action

Our purpose is to support Kenyans with the knowledge, know-how, tools, financial resources, opportunities, and networks to directly engage in and confidently undertake civic and legal action to defend our environment and help it thrive.

We work in partnership with grassroots groups and local organizations to collectively build the financial resources, skills, know-how and networks to deliver impact.

We also create opportunities for Kenyans more generally to directly engage in and contribute to the efforts of these grassroots groups and local organizations. Each individual Kenyan that supports this work helps amplify the legitimacy, financial resources, and visibility of the work — in this way, we are creating a public movement for the environment.

By improving our collective power as Kenyans, our work helps us all become stronger, more resilient and better equipped to deal with future challenges. This is the power of JustAct.
