PFWM
We are people of action
An indigenous Kenyan movement that trains, places, and walks with communities — especially girls from low-income areas.
Our focus
For more than twenty years we have organised around the rights a girl in informal housing still cannot take for granted.
Sustained action
The girl of the slum: our target beneficiary
Water, school, a toilet she can reach, food, a room, and someone who will hear her. PFWM builds programmes around that week.

12 settlements
Where we work
Low-income and informal housing in Nairobi and Kiambu — the settlements that share a postcode with wealth.
Hidden behind the beautiful walls of glamorous estates.
County 01
Nairobi
Mathare sits beside Muthaiga. The city looks well-off until you walk the other side of the wall.
County 02
Kiambu
Peri-urban settlements the county averages still miss.

Why the girl of the slum
She is the route to real change — not because she is a symbol, but because her week is the week of the settlement.

Water costs more in the slum
Cartels, broken pipes, and a jerry can that eats the school morning.
