Why Thousands of Christians Are Set to March Through Nairobi CBD on Saturday

Thousands of Kenyan Christians, led by the Kenya Christian Professionals Forum (KCPF), have taken to the streets of Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) today for the annual March for Life.

The event, themed “Protecting the dignity of the pre-born child: A national duty,” underscores KCPF’s commitment to defending life from conception to natural death.

The march concludes Life Week 2026, a week-long campaign that educated and mobilized citizens across Kenya.

KCPF stressed that the march is not political or confrontational. Instead, it serves as a public declaration rooted in Scripture, Kenya’s Constitution, and moral conviction.

KCPF’s Stand on Life

KCPF unites Christian professionals from all denominations around five pillars: Life, Family, Religious Freedom, Value-Based Education, and Governance. At the core of these pillars lies a firm belief that life is a divine gift, not a commodity.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,” reads Jeremiah 1:5. KCPF uses this verse to highlight that life begins at conception.

“Remaining silent in the face of threats to the pre-born is not an option for Christians.” Said a KCPF spokesperson.

The Forum also pointed to Article 26 of Kenya’s Constitution, which guarantees the right to life.

“Protecting the pre-born is not just a religious concern. It is a constitutional and national responsibility.” KCPF added.

KCPF marched in response to cultural and legislative debates on abortion, surrogacy, and assisted reproductive technologies.

Officials warned that practices that commodify women and children erode human dignity. They called on lawmakers, health workers, and citizens to champion life at every level.

Life Week 2026: Educating and Mobilizing Citizens

The march follows a week of events during Life Week:

•  Life Symposium (25 March): Policymakers, health professionals, clergy, and advocates met at Cardinal Otunga Plaza. They discussed ethical concerns over surrogacy and support for women facing crisis pregnancies.
• Student and Youth Engagement: KCPF’s Students Chapter ran sessions, including a virtual event earlier in March. They equipped young people with biblical and scientific arguments for life protection.
• Virtual Platforms: Online prayer sessions, webinars, and reflections engaged believers nationwide and in the diaspora.
• Awareness Campaigns: Social media drives, merchandise, and community outreaches kept the conversation alive in churches, offices, and universities.

Beyond the Streets

As marchers lift placards, sing hymns, and pray along Nairobi’s streets today, KCPF emphasized that defending life requires daily action. The Forum urged citizens to remain vigilant in legislation, healthcare, education, and culture.

“Every Kenyan can join this movement. When we protect the pre-born, we safeguard the most vulnerable and preserve the very soul of our nation.” Said KCPF.
