The National Framework for the Implementation of Kafaalah Care for Children in Kenya (2022) was developed to guide the process of taking in vulnerable children by families, whether they are related to the specific families or not and bringing them up the same way they bring up their biological children.
There has not been much attention by Muslims to the subject of Kafaalah as an alternative to adoption and other forms of care in Kenya. The framework will also guide key stakeholders in childcare, protection, and those in the justice system in making decisions that are in the best interest of the child.
