KUSOMA
Transformative Equity and Inclusion Training
Welcome!
​
At Kusoma, which means “to read” or “to study” in Swahili, we are dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) through a lens of anti-oppression. Guided by our principles of Compassion, Curiosity, and Collaboration, we create transformative, experiential learning experiences tailored for social justice organisations—be they charities in the voluntary sector or small businesses committed to social impact.
Our meticulously designed programmes empower you to connect the dots between, revealing root causes of inequity and oppression and equipping you with strategic solutions that foster sustainable, inclusive workplaces.
We recognise that the journey into anti-oppression education can be challenging. That’s why we prioritise creating inclusive, nurturing spaces that honour each participant’s unique experiences.
Are you ready to enhance your diversity and inclusion efforts? Reach out today to explore how we can collaborate to cultivate a more equitable workplace culture that reflects your commitment to social justice.
WHAT WE DO
At Kusoma, we specialise in designing and delivering transformative learning experiences that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each organisation we work with. Our expertise lies in creating engaging, participatory environments where difficult conversations can lead to meaningful change.
Every partnership is unique, which is why our approach to learning design is never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand your goals and challenges, co-creating bespoke programmes that align with your organisation’s mission and values. Whether through immersive workshops, experiential labs, or facilitated dialogue, we help you uncover root causes, challenge existing frameworks, and implement practical solutions for sustainable impact.
For those who prefer to learn at their own pace, our self-paced online courses offer flexibility, allowing individuals and teams to revisit content and reinforce their learning whenever they need. These courses are designed for ongoing growth, providing accessible, in-depth insights that support long-term development.

SUPPORTING YOU TO FURTHER YOUR EQUITY AND INCLUSION EFFORTS
At Kusoma, we understand that conventional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training often falls short of creating meaningful, lasting change. That’s why we’ve developed an approach that goes far beyond standard workshops and seminars—one that’s rooted in a deep understanding of anti-oppression principles and driven by transformative facilitation.
Our methodology is grounded in addressing systemic issues at their core, helping your organisation uncover the often-unseen barriers that prevent true equity and inclusion. From there, we work with you to design solutions that are as unique as the challenges you face, ensuring that every aspect of our partnership resonates with your team and drives lasting, measurable change.
What sets Kusoma apart isn’t just our expertise—it’s our commitment to transformation. We don’t offer quick fixes or off-the-shelf programmes. Instead, we guide your organisation through a dynamic learning journey that builds the insights, skills, and practical tools necessary for fostering a culture of belonging, innovation, and success.
Our clients consistently share how their teams feel more connected, empowered, and aligned after engaging with our programmes—ready to lead with equity at the forefront. Through our work, organisations are not only changing their internal practices but also redefining the way they engage with the world around them.
