Who We Are
Ustawi Network is a non-profit based in Kisumu County, Kenya, dedicated to transforming lives through accountability, rehabilitation, and community-safe reintegration.
In Kenya's correctional system, there was no structured, offence-specific programme addressing root causes of sexual offending. In 2024, Ustawi piloted SOTP at Kamiti Medium Prison with 20 participants over four months. All completed. All received certificates. The results proved a scalable rehabilitation model was possible.
SOTP is an intensive psychosocial programme designed specifically for men convicted of sexual offences. Each cohort covers personal responsibility, emotional regulation, understanding harm, consent, empathy, and reintegration preparation.

Core Pillars
We facilitate deep understanding of harm, accountability to victims and communities, and practical pathways to make amends.
Change happens when men build healthier identities and clear reasons to live pro-socially. We help build both.
Every module in SOTP draws from cognitive behavioural therapy, trauma-informed care, and proven rehabilitation methods.
"I am because we are." Reintegration is not only individual change. Communities must be prepared to receive and rebuild.
Every facility reached and every graduate supported depends on people and institutions who believe this work is worth backing.
