Until we have photos from our own community, the landscape photos on this site come from Wikimedia Commons, shared by their photographers under free licences. Asante to each of them.

We resize and crop these photos for the site. Our adapted versions are shared under the same licence as each original. The beadwork, flag and kanga patterns are Wakenyatbay's own.

Card illustrations

The pictures on the guide and value cards are illustrations made with AI (OpenAI's image model) for Wakenyatbay. They are not photos, and they do not show real people. The small line icons on the cards are from Lucide, under the ISC licence.

Methali ya leo

Most of the proverbs in the homepage's daily methali come from Albert Scheven's collection, published online by the University of Illinois as Swahili Proverbs: Methali za Kiswahili. A few come from Wiktionary. The short meanings are our own wording.
