Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to be able to meet new people, to invite them into my culture and know more about their lifestyle. Also i would like to meet the less fortunate and have a chance to help those communities to the best of my abilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I started a program among campus students of Kenyatta University to raise donations to build safe and secure homes for the elderly people in Homa Bay County in Kenya though issuing donation proformas. In 7 week, we raised Ksh. 33,000. We donated this money to Optiven Group Foundation (Kenya) which was handling the project.
Teach, Learn, Share
There is something called social design. This is using tools and processes to try and scientifically find solutions to social challenges in a region.
I would love to increase my knowledge on social entrepreneurship and social change.
The late founding director of Starehe Boys' Center in Nairobi, Kenya was once quoted saying that, ''in the end, after you have done your duty, go on to spare some time and talent in service to the less fortunate. Not for any gain but because it is the right thing to do.''
