blogger and store owner
Karibu (Welcome) to your local African Gifts and Culture Kibanda (Store).
My name is Sitawa Wafula, a Kenyan mental health blogger based in the Historic City of Lancaster, PA. Through Kibanda ya Sitawa, I share my African heritage by offering an array of products and services ranging from jewelry handcrafted by me and women back home, immersive culture and Swahili language classes for all levels, and pre-owned books by African authors.
If you’re looking for unique jewelry, traveling to an African country and want to get basic info about our culture or looking to learn Swahili or read books by African authors, we’ve got you covered.
If you are looking for something specific, feel free to email or DM me.
Looking forward to going on this cultural adventure with you.

Fun Fact: The store’s logo highlights some iconic buildings in my home city, Nairobi - and the fact that it is the only capital city with a National Park in it.
