Yes, you can register a social welfare group in Kenya online through the eCitizen portal, which provides a convenient and streamlined process. Here’s a brief overview of how to go about it:
Filling the Form Online:
- Visit the eCitizen portal and log in or create an account if you don’t already have one.
- Once logged in, navigate to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection services section.
- Select the option for Social Welfare Group Registration and complete the online form.
Submitting the Application:
- After filling out the form, you can submit it online. There’s no need to take a physical form anywhere immediately after submission. However, you may need to print certain documents depending on the instructions from the portal.
Follow-up Process:
- Once you submit the form online, it will be reviewed by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection.
- If approved, you may be required to collect a physical copy of the registration certificate or it will be delivered digitally depending on the county’s administrative policies.
Where to Take it:
- In some cases, you may be asked to submit supporting documents to the County Social Development Office or similar local office in Kwale county. Check the specific instructions provided after submission.
- The Kwale County Social Development Office or any designated county office would typically handle final approval, so be prepared for any communication from them.
Ensure you have all the necessary information and documents ready, such as the group’s name, objectives, membership details, and the minutes of the meeting that approved the group's formation.
