Clean Start Africa empowers women, girls, and children affected by Kenya’s criminal justice system, fostering dignity and hope to facilitate successful reintegration. Their initiatives include Circles of Healing—peer-led spaces within community counties that offer social and trauma support for currently and formerly incarcerated women. Their reentry department focuses on economic and livelihood support, offering capacity building programs and the Halfway Program to enhance economic resilience and provide a supportive environment for women transitioning from incarceration. Clean Start Africa is also committed to providing support for children accompanying their mothers to prison by training staff in responsive caregiving, offering parenting programs and establishing comprehensive childcare frameworks. They advocate for policy reforms to improve aftercare services for children leaving prison, ensuring holistic support throughout the reintegration process.
