KNOWN is a community-rights-based organization dedicated to advancing the well-being, protection, and empowerment of vulnerable children. We do this through various initiatives that also empower women, families, and communities across Kenya’s coastal region. Founded on the belief that strong communities create lasting change, KNOWN exists to rebuild the village around every child and strengthen the support systems that enable children to thrive.
