Our Story

Learn about our unique initiative

The Kenya Cultural Diplomacy Initiative began with the vision of strengthening relationships between members of the Kenyan diaspora, and their homeland.  Our program provides Kenyans, at home and abroad, opportunities to form meaningful personal and professional connections in both Kenya and the United States. 

Our initiative is expanding to include professional education programs, open to all. Participants will have the opportunity to earn professional certifications and  transferable academic credits through affiliated institutions, in a variety of fields.

At KCDI, we are committed to bringing individuals, communities and institutions together to strengthen bonds, uplift communities, and solve real world issues impacting Africa, as well as our shared global community.

Together, we can grow as one.
