| I feel especially privileged to be in Kenya today, home of harambee, a practical and longstanding tradition of community voluntary action. |
| In the early post-independence period faithbased organizations, eager to quench the thirst for education and put their imprint on the harambee movement, encouraged local communities to continue to raise funds for schools. |
| It is interesting to observe an evolution of government policy towards community harambee schools in Kenya. |
| One means is via the harambee, a Kenyan custom whereby people gather to donate money to community projects. |
| Moi gradually turned harambee efforts into overt political events. |
| The harambee movement has since been politicized, weakening the partnership between the state and local communities. |
