Welcome to

Kericho Cluster

THE STORY

Tea plantations dominate both the landscape and the economy in the Kenyan town of Kericho.

But there is so much more to the town than tea. Kericho has a young, enterprising population that is seeking opportunities and facing different challenges. Since 2015, a group of local leaders, artists and entrepreneurs has gathered as a Cluster. Together they support one another in their efforts to help young people navigate their lives and direct their futures.

WHAT THEY'RE DOING

Recording Stories

Overcoming Tribalism
