Rights, dignity and opportunity—led by community.
CICR works alongside indigenous children, women and families in West Pokot to turn local priorities into practical, lasting change.
Local knowledge. Shared responsibility. Lasting progress.
Founded in 2019, the Centre for Indigenous Child Rights grew from grassroots action addressing the barriers that prevent children, girls and women from living safely and participating fully in society.
We listen first. Communities help identify priorities, shape interventions, lead implementation and review progress. CICR then connects this leadership with schools, health services, public institutions, civil society and responsible funding partners.
This approach makes support accessible to beneficiaries and gives partners a clear pathway for investing in locally owned solutions.
