[Generosity Traditions Around the 🌎]: This week's global generosity tradition is Harambee. Submitted by givingtuesday.ke, this is a common tradition in Kenya and throughout Eastern Africa. Translating to "all pull together," the notion is deeply ingrained in the moral compass of the country and encompasses a concept of placing the group before the individual. For Kenyans, a harambee represents an unwritten law of generosity, and regardless of class, ethnic group, gender or religious background, we will lend a hand to assist anyone in need.

A harambee can be anything from a fundraising event to emotional support to a simple favor. Whenever an individual is facing a significant rite of passage or life event – such as a wedding, educational opportunity, serious illness or a relative’s funeral – and needs help, they will contact an elder family member or tribal leader. This leader will then call a meeting with other elders, and if the issue is deemed significant enough to warrant the strength of the community, they will share the issue with the individual’s family, friends and co-workers and organise a harambee. Those in attendance often contribute money, services or emotional and physical support, and expect nothing in return.
