Our Story
Writers Guild Kenya began in 2014 as a simple but powerful idea. A group of students at Kenyatta University, led by Gabriel Dinda, came together with a shared belief: that writing, reading, and storytelling have the power to shape individuals, preserve culture, and transform society. What started as a small student-led initiative quickly grew into a vibrant national community of writers, readers, and learners.
Over the years, we have trained thousands of members, supported emerging and published writers, worked with schools and institutions, and championed lifelong learning across Kenya.

FAQs by our Writers
Why are “21st Century skills” such a big deal anyway?
Because jobs change faster than job titles. Global future-of-work reports show that how you think, communicate, and adapt matters more than what degree you hold. These skills cut across all careers, and they stay useful for life.
What do you mean by Critical Thinking (and can it really be taught)?
Yes—critical thinking isn’t magic. It’s learning how to question information, analyse situations, make sound decisions, and solve real problems. UNESCO identifies it as essential for work, citizenship, and lifelong learning—and we teach it practically, not theoretically.
