WHY WE ARE ASKING
Fewer children are growing up speaking Kalenjin today.
- THE GAP
- The open Kalenjin audio that exists is people reading off a screen. Nobody talks like that.
- WHAT WE COLLECT
- Speech with no script behind it. A voice note, a wedding, an argument about football.
- WHAT IT IS FOR
- A clinic line that understands a patient. A radio archive you can search.
