InformAction is a unique human rights organization that uses film and community discussions to get ordinary people to speak out and take action. We operate through mobile field teams – using a car, screen, projector and camera – to show films to thousands of ordinary people through-out Kenya every week. Experienced activists and facilitators lead community discussions on justice and governance, while video journalists film the discussions and record human rights abuses.

Since 2010, InformAction (IFA) has empowered hundreds of thousands of Kenyans in rural and marginalized areas, profiling the demands for change through innovative media and action. It has focused on impunity, governance, and justice for victims of political violence.

In an environment that has become increasingly difficult for civil society and free expression, we use our unique methodology to by-pass control, corruption and censorship. We reach out to all communities and classes with understanding and information.
