In my opinion, while the role of the extended family in modern Kenyan society is evolving, it remains a fundamental aspect of social life. The challenges posed by urbanization and modern lifestyles cannot erase the deep-rooted value of extended family connections. Embracing the benefits of technology and adapting traditional practices to contemporary realities can help preserve the essence of the extended family while accommodating modern needs. As Kenya continues to grow and change, finding ways to balance tradition with innovation will be crucial for maintaining the strength and support of extended family networks.
