Learn

An integral component of Kenya Connect outreach programs is to provide Western schoolchildren with the opportunity to learn about Kenya’s Kamba culture in real-time through pen pal exchange and school sponsorship. The following initiatives supplement these learning experiences.


Village Life East Africa

Village Life East Africa is a video exploring the lives of the Kamba people in Wamunyu, Kenya.  This 25-minute documentary is accompanied by worksheets and follow-up activities to help bring East African life into the classroom.

The video may checked out for free but we kindly ask that it be returned.  It can also be purchased for $40.00. Proceeds will assist Kenya Connect with administrative costs.

To rent or purchase a video, please contact us.


Additional Educational Opportunities

Since our inception, several English-speaking teachers have visited Wamunyu and taught at Kenyan schools. For more information about teacher volunteering and how you can take advantage of this unique opportunity, please contact us.

“I especially enjoyed the opportunity to share cultural differences and similarities with the female teachers, answer questions about the U.S., and show pictures of students, friends, and family.”

Wonderful things happen when kids connect!
