Professional Mediation for Real-Life Disputes
Private & Court-Annexed
We help individuals, families, institutions, and organizations resolve disputes through structured mediation, supported by psychological expertise. Snap Bridge provides ethical, confidential, and impartial mediation services across Kenya, including court-annexed and private matters.
Conflict Is Inevitable. Damage Is Not.
Unresolved disputes strain families, disrupt workplaces, and weaken institutions. When conflict is ignored or poorly handled, it escalates—costing time, money, relationships, and wellbeing.
Litigation is not always necessary. Avoidance rarely works.
