Support Our Work

At Ukweli Coalition Media Hub, we do not charge for access to our investigations because we believe that free access to high-quality, in-depth information, especially in a region that has been ravaged by armed conflict for more than three decades, can help restore peace and build a stable region.

We operate on an open model of support, which you can also be a part of if you believe in the importance of investigative journalism, its ability to hold people accountable, and its power to bring positive change in the community.
