In 2004, two African businessmen from Kenya and South Africa teamed up with the Brahma Kumaris and challenged themselves to establish meditation centers in every African country over the next two years. (There are 54 countries on mainland Africa and surrounding islands.) A meeting was held in Kericho, the tea-growing region of Kenya, to which 150 attendees from all over Africa joined to help. Many of the countries were war torn and some had severe droughts, but the project went on and was completed on schedule. Forty African countries had meditation centers established within two years from commencement. The meditation centers have been places of hope, peace, serenity, community and joy across Africa.
