About Kenya

Muungano wa Wanavijiji is the national movement of the urban and rural poor organised in savings groups that make up the Kenyan federation practicing daily savings, data collection and fostering partnerships with local governments, community-led housing development, land tenure advocacy and informal settlement upgrading. The movement was formed in 1996. The Kenya Alliance pioneers a community (people) centred approach to strategic urban development initiatives by and for the urban poor. The Kenyan Federation is supported by SDI Kenya and the Akiba Mashinani Trust.
