What is Culture?

The definitions of Culture are numerous and are continuously evolving.

However, they are important as they allow us to maintain order in our social structures. Language, education, rites of passage, family ties and relationships…all these are  parts of our culture which are constantly forced to respond to the world as it changes.  Parts which end up being forgotten and lost.

Let us remeber our culture…and share it!

Do you know why the Ngurario exists? Or that most Kikuyu traditions are heavily borrowed from the ancient Athi Tribe?

Do you know of the origins of your name? Ever wondered what influences the dialects in indigenous languages? Knowledge about our culture gives us the ability to positively voice our opinions and the power to decide on the quality and direction of our lives.

Let us share, debate, discuss, educate and inform each other.

Culture is cool!
