The Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Taita Taveta diocese, elders, and professionals have launched an ambitious program to sensitize the local community on the need to preserve Taita culture and unity for prosperity.

The diocese said the cultural education programme is aimed at preserving the Taita culture that has been eroded due to the infiltration of the Western cultures and also sensitize the local community on the need to embrace unity for socio-economic and political development.
