About Marafiki Center
In Lexington, Marafiki Center is a community center focused on cross-cultural connections and representation for African and Swahili-speaking communities in Kentucky. It offers cultural and educational programs through festivals, conferences, classes, and activities for children and families. Swahili Day is a one-day cultural festival celebrating the community's heritage, while the AfroLex Conference uses workshops, breakout sessions, and a keynote speaker to explore bridging cultural differences. Adult Swahili classes run online as a six-week spring course taught by a native Swahili speaker. The center also holds a summer camp with educational and recreational activities for African immigrant children, and Shule Fest distributes school-supply backpacks alongside food, games, treats, and haircuts. Its civic engagement work includes transportation, information, and resources for the Swahili-speaking community.
