We are presently working remotely but available and responsive on email via our contacts. However, we will also be intermittently available at our office in Westpark Suites, Ojijo Road, Parklands during working hours.  Best to contact us for GBA issues via email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Unfortunately, many of our upcoming events have been cancelled or are being postponed to follow the regulations by the Kenyan government to allow for ample time for control of the spread of the virus.
