CRAWN Trust is a women led non-state actor established in 2010 and registered as a Trust Corporation (PS2000). The organization aims to promote citizen’s awareness of their human rights and non-discrimination of women, in the political, social, economic and cultural spheres of development as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 from a gender perspective. CRAWN Trust works as a change catalyst to impact lives and transform communities and envisions a society where gender equity thrives, guided by a strategic framework and works with different stakeholders to advance the women’s rights agenda in Kenya.

A Just society guided by shared values where women, girls and all citizens thrive in dignity in all spheres.

The CRAWN Trust Theory of Change is based on sustainable development being achieved through values driven Governance and transformative leadership.  When development is values driven and inclusive then communities thrive. When the values of equity, justice and accountability, inclusivity and fairness lead the process of development, then women and girls, youth, PWDs and other marginalized groups thrive.  CRAWN Trust believes that a values driven leadership has an important role in creating a vibrant and engaged citizenry. An engaged citizenry will impact lives and transform communities to ensure equity, justice and accountability, fairness, and inclusivity for sustainable development.
