This is the story of my people, the Ambeere. Numbering about 200,000 people living in the Eastern province of Kenya, our is home to the famous power generating dams such as Masinga dam, Kamburu dam, Gitaru dam, Kindaruma dam and Kiambere dam. Other local places of interest include the Mwea National Reserve, and Kiangombe mountain, the slopes of which are now littered with the famous Miraa plant which ranks second to the Meru District.
I seek to explore the culture of a people of whom I am very proud. I will be telling famous folklore about my people here. Mbeere holds a rich culture that remains unrevealed to date and I hope to bring it to fore with my stories. This way, others will have a new view of my precious people and our way of life will be open to the world to discover.
Welcome in the journey to a people that time almost forgot, a people so resilient that no matter that they live in an area of hardship and lack have found ways to keep up with modernization and who now boast of not only a rich culture but many development projects as well. These are my people and this is our story.
