This episode features Dr. Wangui Kimari. Wangui wears many hats and I know her best for her role as a key part of establishing and supporting the Mathare Social Justice Centre (referred to as MSJC) in Nairobi. MSJC began in 2014 by young members of the community to promote social justic in an area of Nairobi where residents face many daily forms of violence from forced evictions, police abuse to extrajudicial killings. They are involved in a number of initiatives, most notably documenting extrajudicial killings in public reports and recently curating a photo exhibition and book with the Mothers of Victims and Survivors Network. This is a powerful community based organisation making hard-fought change in their community - https://www.matharesocialjustice.org/about-msjc/
Wangui has played a core role in this and whilst all other MSJC members live in Mathare, she comes from the more leafy suburbs of Nairobi and brings her research skills and leadership to MSJC. In this discussion, we hear her perspective on the evolution of the NGO space in Kenya, the good, the bad and the ugly, and how MSJC navigates such an environment.
