Keiyo Women Group: Cheptarit Village in Keiyo, Kenya

Although the lack of signage, bumpy roads and rough terrain may have been deceiving, we were greeted by a singing group of Keiyo women to make the trip worth our while. Learning about the various customs this group of tribes have was very enlightening and educational. Some examples of these were learning about the differences in homesteads, marriage dowry, housing upkeep, and traditional wardrobe significance. With each song and dance being performed for a difference purpose, we were able to experience first-hand a cultural tradition. Not receiving nearly as many visitors as they would like, spirits were high and enthusiastic for the future.
