Who we are
A home for every builder and artisan in Kenya
The Real Building Workers Association of Kenya is a non-political, non-profit-making organisation registered in 2019 under the Societies Act, Cap. 108. We exist to bring construction workers together so their skills, talents and gifts are properly harnessed - and recognised.
From masons, carpenters and fundis to machine operators, surveyors and site managers, our members form the backbone of Kenya's built environment. REBWAK gives them a collective voice, structured fundi training pathways, support towards NCA accreditation and registration, and a direct line to the agencies that regulate the industry.
Skills that count
Training, certification and accreditation pathways that open real doors.
