We are a non-profit charitable organization started in 1984 by the late Fr. Arnold Grol. Our main focus is to restore human dignity by improving and transforming prisoners lives for quality life solutions across the country. We intervene through various aspects of human and social needs especially the welfare activities with the objective to train, educate, offer counselling services, support health and sanitation and offer after-care service to enable them easy integration into the society and find gainful employment.
Our 4 main programs are:
The Project has been the only one of its kind in Kenya for over 36 years with its unique reputation for improving prisoners’ welfare, human rights, and livelihood besides ex-prisoners’ integration into the society has been felt all over the country.
We are driven by the commitment that “prisoners are people too” and their rights and welfare deserve our collective attention. A project that started vey humbly is now a national partner in minimizing stigma and exclusion of prisoners in national affairs. We have operated solely as the voice of the voiceless. As a result of our solid support and reputation the project has access to all Kenyan prisons. We have acted and still continue acting as brothers and friends of the inmates by ensuring that they get the best life during and after the sentence.
