A lobby group has built a centre to preserve the ways of life of Northern Kenya communities and promote cultural tourism. Kenya earns a lot of revenue from tourism, but Kivulini Trust says the changing times mean the fortunes could dwindle. “We’ve established a centre for culture, indigenous knowledge and experiential learning in Gotu, Isiolo county, where we nurture the future custodians of cultural heritage on adaptive sociocultural transformations in northern Kenya,” Adan said. Last month, Kivulini Trust and Children Peace Initiative Kenya hosted the first children’s cultural festival at the centre. It brought together participants from northern Kenya counties, including Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu and Turkana.
