Garissa Community Groups
Garissa is one of the new areas that Hakijamii has identified as requiring urgent attention because of the historical marginalization that people from that area have been subjected to not only by successive governments, but even civil society organizations. Therefore, Hakijamii has begun to work with community groups from the Garissa area to collaborate and form a network that has the following objectives:
•To provide for platform for solidarity among different community groups
•To foster unity and networking among community groups and other non governmental agencies
•To coordinate development activities related within their communities.
•To mobilize resources so as to advance the group’s objectives
•To represent group members and community at large in local government and national government processes.
•To provide emergency responses to disasters, catastrophe or any humanitarian crisis.
•To raise the level of human rights awareness and engage in lobbying and advocacy.
This network will contribute to the establishment of a real national movement for human rights.
