Join ClinksWe work with socially and economically marginalised groups: ex-prisoners, drug addicts, alcoholics, prostitutes, gypsies and specialising in BAME groups. We will help people change their life circumstances; get into jobs, training, education and personal development. We will also support them to get off drugs or alcohol, or to deal with emotional difficulties in order to effect change where needed.
Kiwavi motto is: Know who you are, Be the best you can be, Do the best you can do, Live together in peace, harmony and safety.
We want to support people to change. Working with them to know where they are stuck and then evaluate what is needed to effect change. Then work through all the issues one by one until there is positive change. We intend to support people one to one and in groupwork settings also. CV preparation, interview techniques, soft skills training, life skills training are some of the things we will deliver.
BAME and ex- prisoners in general are priority groups.

Supporting information
We are just beginnning as an organisation. John Chambers, the Managing/Founding Director has worked as a Prison Officer and a mental health support worker in medium and low secure units across the country. He is also an itinerant preacher of 33 yrs and in this role has worked with every kind and variety of people. I have used a network of volunteers to work with from time to time but never on a formal basis. The Churches have helped many people to get on their feet but we have never recorded anything we have done. Kiwavi will be a more formalised extension of past work and will better serve those we wish to help. I am of Jamaican descent and my wife is Kenyan. I have spent 4 yrs in Kenya working with tribal people and in ghettos and also travelled extensively in India,Pakistan and Nepal working with Churches primarily to build capacity in the communities and train leaders to develop community impact programmes. We aim to bring that understanding of cultural diversity to the work.
