Kenya is recently progressing towards embracing the unity of associated humanism, coming into realisation that many groups have emerged since the IHEU Conference in Kampala, the Humanist Visions for Africa in 2004. As such, most organisations in Kenya are hindered for lack of funding, and JAHT will develop means and ways of assisting the Humainst and Ethical Union of Kenya to become an umbrella body for humanist groups in Kenya.
