Volunteers, collaborators and sponsors welcome

Whether you're a linguist, a software engineer, a designer, a translator, an institution or a funder — there's a place for you at Kamusi Research Labs. We're especially keen to hear from people who care about Ajami, Swahili NLP, or language technology for underserved languages.
