Mutuku wa Muindi

A dream born in 1995 to collect and preserve cultural artifacts of the Kamba People of Kenya whose culture is quickly disappearing. Through personal savings and initiative, over 400 artifacts have been collected and documented, including intangible heritage such as proverbs and folktales.

The center features an Herbarium preserving traditional herbal medicine knowledge with over 600 categorized herbs, all sitting on a 12-acre piece of land dedicated to cultural preservation in Emali, Makueni County.

Under his leadership, the center has become the only museum in Kambaland showcasing authentic Kamba artifacts, attracting visitors from across Kenya and internationally to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Kamba people.

We have hosted researchers from local and International universities ie Localy we have hosted researchers Kenyatta University, University of Nairobi, Lukenya University and JKUAT. International we have hosted reseachers from Havard Medical School, Michigan State University, University of California, Luxembourg University, University of Western Cape and Northwest University.

We would like to thank British Council Cultural Protection Fund for their support in preserving our cultural heritage and African Digital Heritage for their various training on digital heritage.
