Koinonia Education Centre is a school dedicated to providing a comprehensive and holistic education for the children in Kenya, Maai Mahiu and its surroundings. Our journey began in the Kibagare slums, west of Nairobi in 2003. In this overcrowded area and similarly in many rural towns of Kenya, devoid of basic amenities, children face harsh realities like crime, abuse, and a lack of educational opportunities. Founded in 2003 as a kindergarten for underprivileged children in Kibagare, Koinonia Education Centre grew alongside its students, becoming what it is today. To accommodate the increasing demand for space and classrooms, we relocated to Maai Mahiu in 2020, continuing our mission to serve the community's children.

The Community Initiative Action Group Kenya (CIAG-K) is a human rights, social justice, and social policy organization founded in 2008. Focus: They work as a non-state agency and non-profit organization, dedicated to empowering communities and advocating for social change. Mission: CIAG-K's core mission is to empower communities, organizations, and social interest groups. Their aim is to transform societies for the benefit of the vulnerable and marginalized. Values: Their work is guided by principles of integrity, accountability, transparency, respect, diligence, and inclusivity. In essence, CIAG-K works to ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable are heard and that they have the resources and support needed to claim their rights and improve their lives. To achieve its long-term goal and vision, CIAG-K theory of change therefore seeks focuses on three areas namely; (i) Influencing policy change: through strategic high-level engagement with duty bearers though round tables with Court users' committees County Assembly, Ministry of interior and coordination, and the Governor among others (ii) Promoting citizen engagement, action and empowerment: CIAG-K recognizes that low levels of awareness and ignorance among citizens on their rights, roles and responsibilities in the Access to justice and rule of law are major obstacles that limits the realization of the full benefits in the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This denies citizens opportunities to reap maximally with respect to legally and constitutionally available public participation spaces provided due to their limited capacity to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. CIAG has developed tools for community groups participation in Budget making processes across all the four key stages of formulation, approval, execution and oversight as strategy to link and visualize government priorities by following the money and hence easily rally community against critical issues. However very little attention has been given on access to justice sector and this is a gap that CIAG will be seeking to address (iii) Promoting transparency and accountability through establishment and strengthening the capacity of community structures: Engaging change agents that comprise community own resource persons (mobilizers and advocacy champions) trained and capacity build by CIAG to catalyse change. This involves application of social accountability tools to carry out social audits of development projects as mechanisms of improving service delivery and holding duty bearers to account. Capacity building the community lies at the heart of CIAG strategy right from enhancing access to information, organizing community to demand justice and journeying with community through social accountability tools has worked as a best practice in engaging with targeted groups. (iv) Use Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) to amplify the voices of the vulnerable and marginalized to demand and defend their rights: CIAG leverages on media platforms-both mainstream and social media to drive its advocacy and policy influencing agenda. (v) Using Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) as a strategy to in tackling access to justice challenges and accountability deficits: That underpins CIAG work where citizens' rights are at the centre of development as enshrined under the bill of rights in the constitution.

Advancing Women in Investing (AWI) is a collaborative of more than 100 first-time and emerging female capital movers investing in emerging and frontier markets. Our long-term goal is to create a movement of change to democratize access to funding and opportunity for female investment vehicles managers (IVMs). Female investment professionals represent only 8% of all senior positions in venture capital and private equity firms in Africa and when then they strike out on their own, they struggle to raise capital. AWI was initially founded as a discussion group over WhatsApp to provide support and networking opportunities for members on the journey to start and raise capital for investment vehicles focused on sub-Saharan Africa. The organization has expanded its geography to include emerging markets in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and now helps to unlock channels to capital, skill building, tools and other resources that are currently very limited in the market. We accelerate the development and growth of these talented women to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the investing ecosystem.
