The extended family is the foundation of the social fabric of any Kenyan community. This is made up of relatives and friends of husband and wife. It is not uncommon to find a nuclear family that lives with a large family in the same compound. Most men move their new home a few yards from their parents' home when they get married. When a man's parents are old, they live with him and his family. There will always be a group of people turning when there is a problem.
The Kenyan people have given a lot of respect and respect to the lost relatives and ancestors. They believe that the spirit of those who have passed away still exists and needs to be recognized. It is not uncommon to find some people throwing some food or drink on the ground for the ancients to take.
Ancient people were thought to be able to control events in life because they were closer to God than mortals. Therefore, it is very important that you do not offend the spirit of the Forsaken. Products are provided from time to time to appease them. A baby can also be named after his ancestors, so that his spirit can live on the child. When the ancients were happy, they ensured harmony, supply and peace throughout the community. Although this is not an ancestor worship, it only expresses respect and awe of the lost. It is actually a taboo that prohibits talking to a departing person in Kenya.
