Awareness Against Human Trafficking – HAART is a Kenyan non-governmental organization dedicated to fighting trafficking in persons. HAART was established on the backdrop of the growing crisis of trafficking in persons that has seen Kenya become the central hub for trafficking in Eastern Africa.
Founded in 2010, HAART works exclusively to eradicate trafficking in persons and has acquired extensive knowledge about the multi-dimensional nature of cross-border and internal trafficking in persons in Eastern Africa. Since then, HAART has identified and assisted more than 1,000 victims of trafficking, held hundreds of grassroots workshops reaching more than 100,000 people, and continues to fight human trafficking through a multidisciplinary approach.
HAART staff and volunteers include professional and passionate people who have degrees in law, psychology and public health, social work, education and international development among others.
See Winnie Mutevu, a representative from HAART, in a short interview with Regine Gaber working with HAART nearly 4 years to discuss the essential and multifaceted work HAART does to combat trafficking. Together, they highlighted HAART’s holistic approach, which encompasses legal, psychological, and public health support, providing critical resources to trafficking survivors. This collaboration with horizont3000 has been instrumental in reinforcing HAART's mission, offering vital assistance to those affected by human trafficking.
