The ‘Gítaúra gía Gíkúyú’ is a trilingual dictionary of the Gíkúyú language that uses Kiswahili and English in order to explore the meanings of our words.
It helps open the door to a lively culture with beautiful music, amazing books, great shows, a fascinating history and so much more that has been out of reach for many people.
