🌍 Preserving Heritage, Embracing Sustainability This October, the Rabai community marked the 13th annual celebration of our New Year, a unique and vibrant tradition rooted in preserving our culture and honoring the Kaya, our sacred forests. This year’s theme addressed some of the most pressing issues of our time: climate change, documenting our history, and cultural preservation. We were honored to have the County Government of Kilifi sponsor this event, with Deputy Governor Florence Betsa Chibule gracing us with her presence, showing immense support for our cause. Additionally, partnerships with Bible Translation & Literacy East Africa (BTL E.A.), National Museums of Kenya and Kenya Forestry Research Institute underscored the deep significance of this day, aligning with shared values of conservation and historical preservation. Together, we are not only keeping our culture alive but actively contributing to a sustainable future for generations to come. 🌳✨ #RabaiNewYear #CulturalPreservation #Sustainability #KilifiCounty #ClimateAction #Kenya
