About
JAF
The Jahwar Amber Fund
is part of the Unitarian movement that has developed worldwide as a response to
the traditional politics of socialism, liberalism, and conservatism.
We place particular
emphasis on gender democracy, meaning social emancipation and equal rights for
women and men. We are also committed to equal rights for cultural and ethnic
minorities and to the societal and political participation of immigrants.
Finally, we promote non-violence and proactive peace policies.
We are a green think
tank, a local policy network, and are active in ecology, spiritual democracy
and human rights in East Africa with 3 offices across Kenya.
Our Regional Office
for Rift Valley and Western Kenya is based in Isinya, District of Kajiado
County since 2012.
Jahwar Amber Fund
Inc. has 501(c) 3 tax-exempt status in Canada and is registered as a community
based organization (CBO) in Kenya. The Canada office helps with fundraising.
