| Description | Fahamu has a vision of the world where people organise to emancipate themselves from all forms of oppression, recognise their social responsibilities, respect each other’s differences, and realise their full potential.
Fahamu is committed to serving the needs of organisations and social movements that aspire to progressive social change and that promote and protect human rights. We believe that civil society organisations have a critical role to play in defending human rights, and that information and communications technologies can and should be harnessed for that cause. We are committed to enabling civil society organisations to use the internet to promote social justice.
The word Fahamu means ‘understanding’ or ‘consciousness’ in Kiswahili.
Formed in 1997, Fahamu uses information and communication technologies as a tool for social change by:
Developing supported distance learning materials for human rights and civil society organisations
Developing innovative ways to make information and learning for change accessible
Being a catalyst for critical social debate
Producing social justice e-newsletters
Undertaking social policy research |
