Who
We
Are
Mukuru community justice centre is a community based organization of human rights defenders from different formations and groups from mukuru informal settlements who are working on different human rights issues to offer solidarity and work together for a just society
Majority of Mukuru residents work in industrial area which is in close proximity and local construction sites. There are so many human rights violations that affect the development of the community. The major vice is poverty, police brutality and extrajudicial killings, sexual and gender based violence, forced evictions and land grabbing, lack of political accountability.
Mukuru Community Justice Centre aims in achieving a free and just Community, that respects human rights.
Kware - The Aftermath
Mukuru's Darkest Hour
You might have heard about the many bodies that were found dumped in an abandoned quarry in Mukuru in July 2024. Mukuru Justice Center is the organisation that brought the country’s attention to the dumped bodies.
THE PEOPLE'S WATER ASSEMBLY
On 16 September 2024, we attended the people’s assembly convened by Women Collective Kenya (WCK) at MCEDO in Mathare. The assembly was attended by members from the Kayole Community Justice Centre, Kiamaiko, Mathare Social Justice Centre, Kabete, Rongo, Uganda and Tana river.
MCJC 16 DAYS OF ACTIVISM REPORT 2023
Mukuru Community Justice Centre held a community dialogue on 5th of December 2023, at Amusha hall as from 11am-1pm. The aim of the meeting was in line with the 16 Days of Activism initiative that is held annually that aims to address any forms of violence that is directed towards women.
Our Causes
We saw there was need to rise up against impunity through documentation of all human rights violations, advocacy and giving the community hope for a just mukuru society.

At around midnight goons invaded a residential plot around St. Alloys primary school in Mukuru kwa Njenga, violently evicting 15 tenants. They reportedly removed doors from their houses, stole tenants belongings, and attempted to rape one woman. What makes this even more disturbing is that the plot owner had repeatedly reported threats to the police, with 30 OB numbers recorded, yet no meaningful action appears to have been taken. How many warnings are enough? How many people must suffer before the police act? Are goons becoming more powerful than the police? The safety and dignity of Mukuru residents cannot be left at the mercy of criminals and impunity. The state must protect people, investigate these threats, recover stolen property and hold those responsible accountable.We must protect the rule of law before it becomes too weak to protect us.We demands immediate action and justice for the affected families. @IAU_KE @NPSOfficial_KE @DCI_Kenya #StopForcedEvictions
