I grew up in the slums of Githurai, where dreams often fade before they start. In the early 2000s my father brought home an old, secondhand computer, and it changed everything for me. I taught myself video editing, turned it into a career, and built a life my younger self could only imagine. Now, I’m giving that same chance to others by donating computers to our local schools whenever I can and working to provide free internet. My goal is making sure the next generation in my community gets the best foundation they can.
I’m a remote video editor serving clients worldwide, and I run a small media company offering creative services. Alongside my work, I farm, keeping chickens and recently, a fish pond to help feed my family, stay self-sufficient and generate some extra income.
My goal is launching a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) in my community, where reliable internet is scarce but desperately needed. Living off-grid keeps my expenses low, allowing me to focus on growing this venture.
The WISP is more than a business, it’s part of a bigger dream. I plan to reinvest profits to expand coverage and eventually build a technology focused school, extending my parents’ legacy of education and giving the next generation the tools to thrive in a digital world.
Hello Zidisha community, I have been doing a lot of work recently and have been developing a lot of health issues as a result. My work involves staying at a desk for a long time. The current desk I have is one I made 4 years ago, along with a 10 year old chair. I will use the funds raised to buy a sit-stand desk, which will significantly improve the ergonomics of my work and enable me to get more work done without health risks. I will also buy a new chair if I get enough funds for that, but the desk is the main priority as that alone will significantly help improve my situation.
Better work setup to improve health
