Nairobi is the seat of the Foundation. Kalenjin House on Nandi Road in Karen holds the head office, and the professional community of Nairobi is one of the most active constituencies the Foundation serves.
The city gathers every one of the fifteen Kalenjin communities. Elders, professionals, students, artists, and diaspora returnees all find each other here, and much of the national work of the Foundation is convened in Nairobi.
Our Nairobi programmes concentrate on chapters and clubs, on professional networks, and on the annual convenings that bring the whole community together at the head office and at Kalenjin cultural spaces around the city.
