The Transhuman Project was founded in Kenya in 2022 by Nekesa Mukamba. It is a feminist tech project for intersex, trans and gender non-conforming (ITGNC) people in East Africa. The Project is headquartered in Kenya with a team working remotely across East Africa. Their aim is to create accessible opportunities and social justice initiatives for ITGNC persons in Kenya and East Africa. They have applied for registration and are still awaiting the outcome.
