Welcome To Paukwa

A place dedicated to positive stories about Kenya. Our story house is named for the Swahili word that is an invitation to a story – Paukwa. It’s an age-old term, well known across East Africa. Paukwa invites one to remember the joy of stories from their childhood days and to get lost in new, familiar or unknown ideas about the daily things that surround us.

Paukwa is a place that celebrates memory, culture, modernity, but most of all, the positive.

Dive in and discover a story of Kenya you didn’t know you never knew!
