Mission

Defenders Coalition champions the safety, security and well-being of human rights defenders.

Fiscal hosting those engaged in human rights defenders' work is a strategic tool the Defenders Coalition uses to strengthen Kenya's human rights defenders movement. Fiscal hosting relationships exponentially expand the Defenders Coalition's reach beyond what it can achieve with its internal capacities. Fiscal hosting services also enable the implementation of critical human rights defender engagements that might otherwise not be possible.
