Kituo Cha Sheria – “KITUO” is the oldest, most experienced legal aid providing and human rights non-governmental organization in Kenya, and perhaps, across the East and Horn of Africa region. It exists to empower the poor and marginalized and to enhance equity and access to justice for all.
KITUO was established on 9th July 1973, back then Kenya had adopted a fairly liberal democratic Constitution at independence. The colonial laws were not repealed or amended to suit the independence Constitution. In fact, the government progressively amended the 1969 Constitution to suit the colonial laws.
Based at the Nairobi Head Office, the Legal Aid and Education Program is specifically devoted to providing legal aid to indigent and marginalized persons in Kenya.
KITUO seeks to recruit, in the Legal Aid Program, dynamic, self driven and result oriented persons to fill in one position in the Legal Aid and Education program.
