Empowering Communities,
Building Peace
Since 2019, the Forum for Empowerment and Community Awareness has been at the forefront of grassroots transformation, championing inclusive governance, digital democracy, and sustainable development across Kenya.
Who We Are
The Forum for Empowerment and Community Awareness (FECA) is a leading grassroots organization committed to building resilient, peaceful, and informed communities. We champion inclusive governance, digital democracy, and sustainable livelihoods by empowering marginalized voices to ignite civic transformation.
Through innovation, climate action, and collaborative leadership, FECA responds to the complex challenges facing today's youth and local communities. Our programs foster community cohesion, counter violent extremist ideologies, and elevate local solutions for global impact.
FECA stands as a model organization advancing equity, accountability, and future-ready development across Kenya and beyond. We believe that sustainable change comes from within communities themselves, and our role is to facilitate, support, and amplify the voices of those working for positive transformation.
