Why Katutu Matters!

KATUTU provides essential support, strategic guidance, and resources to both emerging and established movements.

ABOUT US

We are a social movements’ incubator

KATUTU stands out as a dynamic movement incubator and accelerator, uniquely positioned to energize and expand the landscape of civil rights activism across Africa. Focused on reinvigorating grassroots initiatives, KATUTU provides essential support, strategic guidance, and resources to both emerging and established movements.

This role is crucial in an environment where political disillusionment is common, and traditional protest methods often fall short against entrenched powers. By deeply engaging with movements at various stages of development, KATUTU helps them refine their tactics, strengthen their infrastructure, and amplify their impact, thus accelerating the pace of sustainable, democratic change on the continent.
