The East African Centre for Human Rights (EACHRights) is an independent, non-partisan, and nongovernmental organization established in May 2010 and officially registered as a Trust in Kenya in November of the same year. The organization was founded in response to changing dynamics and persistent gaps within international, regional, and national human rights landscapes. While recognizing that all human rights are equal, indivisible, interrelated, and interdependent, the organization prioritizes the promotion and protection of social and economic rights, human dignity, and equitable development for vulnerable and marginalized populations, including but not limited to children, women and girls, youth, and persons with disabilities across the East African region.
We are anchored on seven strategic focus areas, namely:
1. Gender justice;
2. Education justice;
3. Health justice;
4. Environmental and climate justice;
5. Economic justice, Business and Human Rights;
6. The Universal Periodic Review;
7. Institutional growth and sustainability.
