Our Story

The George Guda Foundation was born from a journey of resilience, hope, and an unwavering belief that every person—regardless of where they begin in life—deserves dignity, opportunity, and justice.


Our founder, George Guda, is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya whose passion for justice was shaped long before he ever stepped into a courtroom. Raised in the heart of Nyalenda slums in Kisumu, George grew up witnessing firsthand the struggles of hardworking families fighting to access basic needs, quality education, and fair treatment. His own life was a testament to perseverance: coming from a humble background, he pushed through the challenges of poverty, limited resources, and societal barriers to pursue an education that ultimately transformed his family’s future.


But even as he rose, George carried with him the stories of countless children whose dreams were dimmed by lack of opportunity, and families who suffered injustices simply because they had no one to speak for them. He knew that meaningful change required more than personal success—it needed a platform that could uplift entire communities.


That vision became the George Guda Foundation, an empowerment and justice centre committed to ensuring that underprivileged individuals across Kenya are not left behind. We provide legal support to those who cannot afford it, champion fairness for marginalized groups, and open doors to secondary, tertiary, and university education for bright students who deserve a chance to shine.


From the narrow paths of Nyalenda to communities across the nation, our mission remains clear:

To empower, to defend, and to transform lives—one family, one case, and one child at a time.


Today, the foundation stands as a symbol of possibility. A reminder that where you come from should never define where you can go. And with every life we touch, we celebrate the belief that justice and opportunity are not privileges for a few, but rights for all.

who We Are.

The George Guda Foundation (GGF) is a non-profit, non-partisan Empowerment and Justice Centre based in Kenya. We exist to promote social justice, human dignity, and equitable development through a dual-model approach:


  1. Empowering youth and women with socio-economic and educational opportunities
  2. Advancing access to justice through human rights advocacy and public interest litigation


We believe that every individual deserves opportunity, protection, and voice. GGF supports communities—especially marginalized groups—to rise above systemic barriers and participate fully in Kenya’s social, economic, and civic life.
