It’s always inspirational to see indigenous cultures in Africa carry on their historic traditions in spite of massive culture changing pressures. Still one will notice the progressive subtle changes.... eyeglasses, watches, microphones and PA systems.... we encourage maintaining tribal heritage in the best ways possible while easing into the 21st century! Here you will see a Turkana cultural festival in NW Kenya - the ‘cradle of civilization’.

Thanks to everyone who supports charitable initiatives through the global pandemic. It’s double tough when charities in particular are so impacted. We are reaching out to our friends on behalf of our affiliate, Mount Kenya Trust, who continue to support anti-poaching, community initiatives, tree planting, animal corridors, and works hand in glove with other initiatives to protect the environment around Mount Kenya, which is under much development pressure. Your US tax deductible tax donation to Friends of Africa International designated for Mount Kenya Trust will go a long way to help them continue their good work.
