Community programs: the foundation works with three specific communities. Two of these (i.e. Nyakach and Kibwezi) are rural, while a third (Prisons) is mainly urban based. The major reason for singling out these communities is that this is where the late Margaret Wanzuu was born, married, lived and worked. It is therefore easy for people to identify with the course at hand, Specific activities in the community programs include:

- Research: an initial baseline survey has been carried out. Apart from establishing the prevalence of domestic violence in these communities, the survey also sought out the people’s perceptions on the causes and possible solutions to the scourge. Based on these results, projects have emerged which address the various needs highlighted.
- Training: the training project aims to equip a core group of individuals in the community with knowledge on domestic violence and some skills in communication and counseling.
- Peace gardens: this recognizes the need for communities to have a “safe” space for them to address their needs. It is our goal to finally have these centers emerge as healing and reconciliation havens that people in need could go to.

Awareness creation project:

This mainly involves wide circulation of information on domestic violence packaged in various forms (e.g. pamphlets, books & booklets, talks, video & audio digital discs etc.)

During the 16days of activism against gender violence, Margaret Wanzuu organizes a walk entitled ‘From the Womb to the Tomb”. During this walk, attempts are made to literally and metaphorically walk through a woman’s life, right from birth to her death. Using the district offices as the intersection point, the walk passes the baton across a distance of 700km and transects the country from the East to the West,

Advocacy Project:

Whenever appropriate, the Margaret Wanzuu joins hands with other organizations with similar objectives to impact on civil laws and cultural practices that directly or indirectly impact on people’s individual capacity to enjoy and express their freedom and wellbeing.
