Legal help for needy key to empowerment

The opening of the Dandora Social Justice Centre was well attended this week. Hundred community members, area MCA and representatives of the Nairobi County Government, National Police Service and civic organisations turned up. Behind the launch is at least 50 years of bottom up community organising for dignity and social justice.

There are now at least 10 such social justice centers in various stages of formation across the country. The other more established ones can be found in Mathare, Kaloleni, Kamkunji, Kiambiu, Langata and others. Youthful leadership, a love for the country’s Constitution and community development and advocacy programs characterise them. Blinded by inequality, violent crime and essential services neglect, their history and challenges are not known by the middle class.
