Founded in 2017 from a personal journey with infertility, Waiting Wombs Trust has grown into a vital movement bridging reproductive health, GBV response, and community empowerment. We believe that inclusion begins with compassion and leads to lasting, systemic change.
Today, our Africa-wide membership connects thousands through online platforms, advocacy programs, and community collaborations, sharing experiences across borders to amplify regional voices.

WWT’s rationale is the need to establish and sustain support systems for the childless and waiting families.Such support systems must, of necessity, mitigate the devastating impacts of retrogressive socio-cultural beliefs and practices around childlessness.
Since its inception, the organization has been able to achieve the following key milestones despite the limited resources, mostly coming in only as donations from Board Members:
Our first regional meeting was held in Nairobi. It brought together over 120 women who openly shared their waiting experiences and journey.In attendance was a fertility specialist and an adoption agency offering the relevant services.
In February 2017, we moved to Kisumu City where we held another regional meeting. We laughed , cried and got free advice from an adoption agency and fertility specialist Waiting Ladies’ Conference in Kisumu, brought together 40 ladies to discuss how to cope with infertility and to listen to expert advice and get services from a fertility specialist
In early 2017 at the port city of Mombasa, Waiting Wombs Trust championed a regional meeting which brought together 60 women for bonding and education.
We envision a world where everyone navigating infertility, childlessness, or reproductive-health challenges is empowered, supported, and embraced — with dignity, empathy, and hope.
To advance wellbeing, safety, and agency through survivor-led support, partnerships, and advocacy.
• Dignity • Safety • Inclusion • Lived-Experience Leadership • Evidence • Collaboration • Accountability
We know the pain; we understand the mental torture that comes with waiting. Do not die in silence, come let us walk together.
