Our Story
Every Kenyan language is a treasure. We are here to ensure
our voices remain audible tomorrow.
The Mission
Kamusi Yetu is more than a dictionary, it is a community-driven sanctuary for Kenya's linguistic diversity. From the dialects of the Lake Victoria shores to the heritage of the Taita hills.
“We believe that technology should serve heritage. By building a digital home for our mother tongues, we empower the next generation to speak with pride and precision.”
Preservation
We focus on recording rare dialects, proverbs, and specialized vocabulary before they fade from daily conversation.
Community
Native speakers are the ultimate authorities. Every entry is contributed, reviewed, and refined by the community.
