About Us

Kele Wellbeing is a growing team of professionals that are passionate about training, wellness experiences, and wellness products. We have independent offices in Tanzania and the United States.

The word "kele" is the several thousand year old indo-european root of the word "clear" and it means to shout or be heard clearly by others. We strive for our mind, emotions, and body to be clear and calm, and we strive to have our message heard clearly by all. If we do not practice tools of clearing our mind and emotions, we have noticed our experience becomes quite noisy and turbulent, which is more akin to the word "kelele" which means noise in the Swahili language.
