Who We Are
Gotabgaa International Organization Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered in the state of Georgia. It started as a small email list of Kenyans in the diaspora in 1993 — driven by a simple need: to stay connected with each other. Officially incorporated in 2000, Gotabgaa (meaning "our homeland family") has grown into one of the most active Kalenjin organizations in the United States and across the globe, with 17 chapters across the United States and annual conferences held since 2003.
Our mission: Inspire, connect, and economically empower our members through education, networking, investment opportunities, and cultural awareness. Unite members and have a platform where talent, leadership, culture, and innovation are nurtured.
