Kiswahili is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa, with over 200 million speakers across East and Central Africa, and is recognized as a key language of communication across the continent and beyond. 

Having access to African languages being taught outside the home is a rare opportunity in Aotearoa, making this program particularly valuable. Kiswahili is an International language. The Language is also broadcast by BBC, VOA, and taught in Universities around the world.
