thumb|Coat of arms of Kenya Harambee is a Kenyan tradition of community self-help events, e.g. fundraising or development activities. The word 'Harambee' means "all pull together" in Swahili, and is the official motto of Kenya, appearing on its coat of arms.
Harambee events may range from informal affairs lasting a few hours, in which invitations are spread by word of mouth, to formal, multi-day events advertised in newspapers. These events have long been important in parts of East Africa, as ways to build and maintain communities.
