Who We Are

The RKB Foundation is a rights-based, non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing dignity, mobility, and equal opportunity for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) in Kenya. Rooted in lived experience and anchored in the Constitution of Kenya (2010) and the Persons with Disabilities Act No. 4 of 2025, we work to dismantle systemic, legal, and social barriers that exclude PWDs from full participation in society. We partner with corporates, institutions, county and national governments to transform workplaces, learning institutions, and public spaces into inclusive, accessible, and high-performing environments. Our work is guided by seven strategic pillars that move disability inclusion from charity to justice, and from policy to practice. RKB’s seven pillars guide our holistic approach to creating inclusive, accessible, and high-performing workplaces.

Vision Statement:

A society where persons with disabilities are empowered, skilled, and actively shaping economic, social, and civic life through inclusive systems, accessible environments, and equitable opportunities.

Our Mission

To advance disability inclusion through a holistic, rights-based approach that strengthens institutions, empowers communities, and partners with public and private sectors to promote accessibility, equity, and sustainable participation for Persons with Disabilities.

Our Motto

The Future is Bright

— Empowering Inclusion

OUR SEVEN STRATEGIC PILLARS

At RKB Foundation, our impact is driven by seven strategic pillars that respond directly to the lived realities of Persons with Disabilities. Each pillar targets a critical system — education, infrastructure, policy, technology, and the economy — ensuring inclusion is not an isolated intervention, but a coordinated, sustainable transformation.

Expand inclusive education pathways from primary to higher learning by piloting accessible curricula, strengthening teacher capacity, and linking learners with disabilities to scholarships, mentorship, talent development, and career pathways.

Inclusive Infrastructure & Universal Design

Advocate for barrier-free built environments by conducting professional accessibility audits and promoting Universal Design standards across schools, workplaces, health facilities, and public institutions.

Community Engagement

Inclusive Employment & Economic Empowerment

Create sustainable career pathways through inclusive recruitment frameworks, internships, mentorship, and partnerships that dismantle hiring bias and promote economic dignity for Persons with Disabilities.
