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.
With the funds from this project, I will establish a sustainable fish pond that will serve as a reliable source of fresh, nutritious fish for my family and the local community. The funds will be used to cover the costs of pond construction, including excavation, water management system, equipment to maintain the ecosystem and some fish stock. The most important thing for now is getting started and improving food security. Apart from food security, it will also provide a steady source of income through fish sales, enabling me to improve my family's financial stability and invest in other ventures to grow our household's wealth. The pond will also serve as a local fish supplier, reducing the cost of purchasing fish for the community; offering fresh and affordable fish. Finally, this project will promote environmentally conscious practices by utilizing natural resources sustainably, which is a huge thing I champion for.
