Pamoja (“together” in swahili) work in communities that present a specific need or display a void that ACO can fill for individuals and families that call it home. The Kilifi Pamoja Center works in the small fishing village on the Indian Ocean. A large influence from Islam and driven by a strong tourist industry, the ACO staff invest in next generations through programs that give young people a foundation in applicable skills. SDM students from a nearby campus invest their talent, training and time in helping lead at the centers.
