About the Public Defenders Fund

Across Kenya and beyond, human rights defenders, activists, community organizers, journalists, and public-interest advocates play a critical role in advancing justice, accountability, and human dignity.

The Public Defenders Fund seeks to create a sustainable resource base that can support and strengthen the work of those who defend rights and freedoms, often at significant personal risk.

The Fund will mobilize support from individuals, businesses, and partners who believe in the importance of protecting civic space and promoting human rights.
