Raising boys into men requires intention.

In mentorship spaces, I use simple but powerful engagement tools that challenge boys to observe closely, recognize leadership, and take responsibility. These exercises build awareness, accountability, and values-driven leadership.

I genuinely enjoy this work. There is immense potential among boys, and society thrives when we intentionally raise men of character, conviction, and courage—men who lead with purpose and stand for what is right.

This cohort was hosted at Daraja Academy during a Boys’ Bootcamp (2nd–6th) as part of The Man I Am mentorship program. The boys are academically sponsored by 410 Bridge, whose support strengthens both academic growth and character formation.

Mentorship is not an event. It is a process.

Training sessions like today’s remind me why I love what I do.
As a Trainer of Trainers (TOT) at Daraja Academy, I facilitated a physical and an online session on “Beyond the Lecture — Learner-Centred Approaches” as we prepare for Competency Based Education in Senior School.
My mission: mentor teachers to teach differently, boldly, and creatively, so learners can thrive. 🌱📚

🌍 Mission Sieku – Laikipia’s Furthest End- Mentoring Men 🇰🇪

For the past two days, my brother Stanley and I had the honor of being in Sieku, a place right at the border of Laikipia, Samburu, and Isiolo Counties — a region known for its challenges, but full of resilient and brilliant young men.

We joined the community for a football tournament that went far beyond the game. ⚽
Over 150 youth gathered — and together, we talked about peacebuilding, drug abuse, s*x education, and most importantly, becoming men of purpose and integrity. 💪🏾

In a place where cattle rustling has been the norm, we witnessed hope rising — young men ready to choose peace, responsibility, and a brighter future for their communities. 🌅

I’m grateful for this opportunity to mentor, listen, and inspire. The journey continues — one heart, one conversation, one village at a time. ❤️

During the Race for Daraja fundraiser at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, held in support of girl education, I had the privilege to speak about a life-changing program: The Man I Am.
This unique boys’ empowerment curriculum, which I lead as Mentorship Officer and Trainer at Daraja Kenya, is reaching schools across Laikipia County. I was moved by the overwhelming support and realization from the community that indeed—the boy child also needs guidance, mentorship, and empowerment.
As we continue to uplift and educate girls, let us also prepare boys to grow into men of integrity, strength, and purpose—ready to stand alongside empowered women.
Because true progress is not one-sided. It is Him for Her. 💪✨
