iKatiba Mobile Application Suite

Whive.com through its Whiver service has just released Swahili and Sheng applications to the general public and is also set to release Kikuyu, Luo/Lwo and Luhya applications over the next few days.

This is consistent with one of the goals of  Whive.com which is to provide information through mobile technology to African masses.

Whive.com recognizes that in order to achieve Vision 2030 Kenya has to utilize its rich cultural diversity as one of the tools of development.

In this regard we have worked very hard to bring to you a suite of applications in local languages collectively dubbed as  iKatiba.

These applications will be available shortly on the Nokia Ovi store for Kenya. You can view the entire Whive.com application space and timetable for release at ikatiba.com
