Culture
Our Staff is made up of a colourful mixture of 15 different tribes! They love to share stories of their history and culture with our guests.
Investment in people
Thanks to our active Sacco our staff have been able to purchase land, houses, vehicles and pay school fee’s, this has given financial freedom.
Our training programs are extremely popular and well attended, they learn a variety of subjects from financial management, management training, organic gardening, computer skills etc.
They especially love the role playing which usually ends with great hilarity and clapping.
