About Friends of KUMW
Friends of KUMW is a network of trusted technical allies who support the Kenya Union of Muslim Women (KUMW) by offering specialised expertise in areas such as law, medicine, Islamic scholarship, governance, and professional advisory services. This collective acts as a voluntary think-tank and support system, providing guidance and credible technical input to strengthen KUMW's advocacy, representation, and capacity-building work, in line with its values of Ikhlas, Ihsaan, and Amanah.
In addition, Friends of KUMW creates practical networking opportunities for KUMW members and partners to directly access and consult experts from the Friends of KUMW database. This linkage between practitioners, scholars, and institutions enhances collaboration, informs community-centred programmes, and supports evidence-based, faith-informed solutions to social and development challenges facing Muslim women.
By connecting expert knowledge to KUMW's focus on unity, sustainable development, humanitarian support, and strategic partnerships, Friends of KUMW strengthens the Union's ability to advise stakeholders, build resilient member organisations, and deliver impactful initiatives for Muslim women across Kenya.
