About Me

I am an emerging business magnets, charity entrepreneur, social innovator, civic tech leader and a cross boundary leader with exceptional tri-sector leadership abilities. I am The CEO & Founder of The ICT Academy which is a startup multi-country digital hybrid nonprofit created to bridge the digital divide in rural and peri-urban Africa and beyond through spearheading the creation of Smart Cities and Smart Villages. In my early twenties I underwent through a spiritual crisis calumniating into Yahweh calling me into government and anointing me to lead as a ruler and a deliverer at the age of 24

My Business

We create Digital Villages in resource poor communities. Digital Villages are Village Internet access points. A Digital Village is basically a public place where people can access computers, the internet, and other digital technologies that enable them to gather information, create, learn and communicate with others while they develop essential 21st Century digital skills.

The center shall be equipped and furnished. pronounced shall have computers and printers for training and internet access, telephone and pronounced machines, source of power (solar or electrical), air pronounced, laptops and other ICT devices and the project occupancy at a time shall be @ 200 person 24 hours access and it shall open at 8:00 am. I shall utilize the 103.4101 USD to promote our fundraiser. I have already launched our online fundraiser at M-changa. Visit our fundraising page, https:// secure.changa.co.ke/myweb/share/11399. I am engaging community members in the fund drive and I aspire to raise 5,000 USD by the end of next year. I shall move from door to door as I distribute fundraising cards as I solicit donations from community members.

I intended to use the summit to create beneficial alliances for my venture.
