Child Welfare
Society of Kenya
Child Welfare Society of Kenya is a non-governmental organization
established in 1955 to protect and promote the rights of all child in
Kenya, but in particular those children living in difficult and
special circumstances. The Society was gazetted by the government of
Kenya in 1970 as an approved Society for the adoption of children. It
is a registered Society within the Adoption Act laid down by the
government and processes legal adoption cases throughout the country.
At this time this is the only licensed child placing agency in Kenya.
A social worker with this agency must complete a report on all
prospective children to be adopted. Families can work directly with
Child Welfare Society to process an adoption or they can hire a lawyer
who can work with the Society on their behalf.
