Harambee is a Kenyan tradition of community self-help events, e.g. fundraising or development activities. The word means "all pull together" in Swahili, and is the official motto of Kenya, appearing on its coat of arms. The word was assimilated into the Swahili language from Hindi at the time of the building of the Uganda Railway from Mombasa to Kampala. Indian labourers used the phrase "har har Ambey", or, "hail Ambey"–an exhortation to Amba, another name for Durga, the Hindu Goddess – when performing difficult tasks that often required more than one person to be involved, such as lifting heavy loads.
