The Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo Foundation is guided by the unwavering principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and the unrelenting pursuit of dismantling historical and systemic injustices. We honor the transformative legacy of Professor Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo, whose life and work exemplified resistance to oppression and a profound commitment to uplifting marginalized voices.

In a world where systems of power have long perpetuated inequity and exclusion, we reaffirm our dedication to creating spaces where all people, regardless of ability, class, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, can thrive in dignity and purpose. We stand firmly against ableism, classism, colonialism, homophobia, imperialism, misogyny, racism, transphobia, white supremacy, xenophobia, and all forms of discrimination that devalue human potential and impede collective progress.

Our work is rooted in the recognition that the most sustainable solutions emerge when we center the voices and wisdom of those most affected by injustice. Their lived experiences illuminate the path forward, shaping our actions and informing our strategies. With this ethos, we aim to foster a global community of dialogue, empowerment, and healing—guided by the Tireless Pursuit of Utu.

This statement is not a declaration of a mission accomplished but a pledge to ongoing, intentional work. We commit to holding ourselves accountable by actively confronting biases, amplifying underrepresented narratives, learning and unlearning, and advocating for policies and practices that challenge inequality.

We understand that this work is not easy. Yet, we embrace it with courage and humility, knowing that it is only through collective effort and steadfast resolve that we can move toward a world where equity and justice are not ideals but realities.

This is the foundation’s promise—to honor the past, transform the present, and envision a future where liberation and inclusion are within reach for all.
