In December 2011, Ushirikiano Panda was established in Kenya, making it the second Kenyan trans organisation after TEA (Transgender Education & Advocacy). The organisation was founded by Gullitt Amakobe, a trans man, Sidney, an intersex person, and Barbra Wangare, a trans woman who is the current Executive Director of EATHAN, the East Africa Trans Health and Advocacy Network. It was intended as a project and support group for intersex and transgender individuals in Nairobi. It was made up of mostly male-identifying members. Ushirikiano Panda changed its name to Jinsiangu on 27 May 2012. Read more about this and Jinsiangu’s work.
