About The Kambimbi Academy
The Kambimbi (African Rain Bird) is an emerging, global brand for peace building and conflict prevention.
The Kambimbi Academy is a comprehensive, international student partnership program whereby students in disparate countries participate in a parallel, dynamic, in-class experience with the intentional design of dissipating today’s clear and present Contagion of Hate and the influences of evil before they are translated into violence; thereby creating a positive shift in social norms, driving this shift to become policy and inciting the exponential, global reproduction of Good.
