Shack Dwellers International Kenya operating as Slum Dwellers International Kenya (SDI- Kenya) is a non-profit organization that supports the urban poor to advocate for inclusive cities, through movement building, agenda setting and precedent setting in community urban development. Our advocacy goal is making slums visible.
SDI-Kenya is dedicated to providing technical support to Muungano wa Wanavijiji, the National Movement of the urban poor in Kenya. Founded in 1996, Muungano wa Wanavijiji is a powerful movement that unites local groups from Cities and towns to advocate for policy changes and engage in dialogue. Their aim is to improve the quality of life for slum dwellers and urban poor in Kenya through, policy advocacy and communication with the federal, state, and municipal governments, as well as civil society and private sector groups.
SDI Kenya shares Muungano wa Wanavijiji’s vision of creating inclusive cities, where low-income communities have access to adequate housing and services and can live with dignity. Building on our expertise and experience, we work towards this vision through movement building, agenda setting, and precedent setting in community urban development. Our slogan, "Building inclusive cities for the urban poor," reflects our commitment to creating equitable and sustainable urban environments for all. As an affiliate of SDI, which operates in over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, SDI-Kenya is part of a global network of organizations working to empower slum dwellers and improve the quality of life in informal settlements.
