Religious Minorities: Overcoming Divides, Respecting Rights
This two-year project seeks to overcome the human rights violations suffered by religious minorities and African Traditional Religions communities.
MUHURI is the lead partner for this project funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). Other implementers are Network for Religious and Traditional Peacemakers, Islamic Relief Kenya, Tangaza University College, and the Supreme Council of Kenya (Supkem). Operational areas are Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Garissa, Mandera, and Nairobi.
The venture supports dialogue between minority faith groups and state institutions, which are intended to positively influence the implementation of laws concerning minorities’ rights.
The project’s outcomes include, among others:
- Improving inter-faith working relationships locally and nationally.
- Enhancing awareness of decision-makers and public audiences on the common ground between faiths and constitutional rights, and on the relevant best practices in promoting minorities’ rights at a local and national level.
Project activities are, among others:
- Coaching and training faith leaders.
- Interreligious dialogue workshops.
- Specialist workshops.

A meeting with duty bearers will be held to resolve these challenges, especially insecurity, which attendees said affect freedom of worship.
This week we had two advocacy meetings in Mombasa and Kilifi to dissect concerns raised during community interfaith dialogues, including difficulties in accessing IDs and insecurity.

Thread, 1/4:
For three months running, divers have been retrieving dead bodies from Tana River. Today, corpses are 16 and decomposed. Eleven are at Garissa County Referral Hospital morgue, the rest at Mwingi Level Four Hospital.
Faithfuls in Mombasa want unregulated religious debates banned. Instead, they have proposed interreligious dialogues. They said the debates are causing conflicts. Faithfuls, both Christians and Muslims, made this proposal during follow-up meetings in Jomvu and Changamwe.
Unregulated, not planned Inter-Religious debates in public spaces cited as major contributor to Interreligious tensions.
Gvt thro' @InteriorKE urged to ban such debates
