KUNGU LABS is excited to launch the 2026 Research + Design Residency! We’re connecting graduate students, early-career practitioners, and faculty with impactful initiatives across Kenya to explore social enterprise pathways and tackle real-world challenges.

AnthroKafe is an initiative aimed at building communities of practice by providing mentorship opportunities for students and professionals. It serves as a meetup space for anthropologists and leaders in Kenya interested in exploring how anthropological ways of knowing can be applied to understand organizations, people, and societal structures.

Not Just About Ancient Bones and Artifacts: Anthropology+Design

Ethnographic research for human-centered design and social impact innovation.

In this episode of the podcast, they talk about how cultural anthropology impacts our thoughts, actions, and design choices. Mathews also shares about KUNGU LABS and how we are using ethnographic research for human-centered design and social impact innovation.
