When I learnt about a Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH programme called hashtag#WIDUAfrica, I didn’t know it was going to take me this far.

I was merely driving what I love doing: connecting those in need to opportunities.

Tonight, 13th Dec 2024, I was awarded the Jamhuri Diaspora Award.

Mostly because of what those who’ve heard me talk about it, embraced WIDU and pursued the channel to support family and friends establish sustainable businesses that enable us in diaspora to escape the endless trap of dependency and handouts.

Thank you State Department for Diaspora Affairs | Kenya for the recognition. I commit to enhance my commitment and zest for WIDU’s mission in pushing for the Smart way to Create Sustainable Jobs in Africa.

We’ll continue giving back and are happy at Sinonin Biotech GmbH and Sinonin Food Innovations to enhance technology transfer to upskill our people. Our flagship project, Kipkenda Poultry, remains an example of innovation and commitment with incredible WIDU support.

Thank you and congratulations to all the other nominees.
