A Vision for Collective Power

NOW Kenya was founded with a bold vision — to create a united, powerful platform for women across Kenya.

NOW Kenya was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: when women unite, they become an unstoppable force for national transformation.

We are creating a platform where women uplift one another, grow collectively, and speak with a shared voice—amplifying their influence across every sector.

Our mission is to build a national movement that connects women from the grassroots to the highest levels of leadership, ensuring they are not only included but are at the forefront of shaping Kenya’s future.

This is more than an organization.
This is a movement.

From Grassroots To National Leadership

NOW Kenya is building a nationwide network of women leaders—structured from the grassroots to the national level.

Our model begins at the ward level, where women come together within their communities to organize, support one another, and address local challenges.

These groups connect and scale to the constituency level, strengthening collaboration, amplifying voices, and driving collective action.

At the county level, leadership is consolidated to influence policy, partnerships, and development priorities that impact women more broadly.

Finally, at the national level, these voices unite into a powerful, coordinated movement—shaping conversations, advocating for change, and influencing the direction of the country.

Through structured community engagement, leadership development, and strategic partnerships, NOW Kenya is creating a unified platform where women can organize, advocate, and lead change at every level of society.
