TESTIMONIALS
Real Stories, Real Impact, How Taunet Nelel Changed Lives
"So much More"
"I initially joined Taunet Nelel just to attend the events, but what I found was so much more. Over time, I started volunteering and eventually
took on a leadership role within the organization. I now help organize the biannual cultural education programs, and it's been incredibly
fulfilling. I’ve learned so much about our traditions and have had the opportunity to share them with others, including those outside the
Kalenjin community. Taunet Nelel has empowered me to lead, teach, and make a tangible difference in my community.”
Peter L., Member and Event Coordinator since 2021
"Incredible Experience"
"I was born in Australia, and while I’ve always known I was Kalenjin, I never fully understood what that meant. My parents encouraged me to
get involved with Taunet Nelel, and it’s been one of the best decisions of my life. I joined the Rite of Passage Ceremony, which was an
incredible experience that helped me connect with my heritage. It wasn’t just a cultural event; it was a moment of personal growth. I now
volunteer at events and actively participate in the community. I’ve gained mentors, friends, and a deeper understanding of who I am.”
David R., Member since 2022
"Highly recommend Taunet Nelel"
“As a small business owner, I wanted to find a meaningful way to give back to my community. When I learned about Taunet Nelel’s
sponsorship opportunities, I immediately knew I wanted to be part of it. Sponsoring the Cultural Pageant not only allowed me to support an
event that celebrates our traditions, but it also connected my business with a wider audience. Seeing the impact my sponsorship made—
especially on the younger participants—was incredibly rewarding. Taunet Nelel has given me a platform to give back in ways I never
imagined.”
