It was a Saturday morning like any other to me and I was going about my normal business. My day was interrupted by a phone call from the head of my Landscaping department, telling me a pregnant woman was in labor in the park, and asked that I come right away.

Some of my landscape workers, former ex-Street boys, were by the highway waiting to flag me down. They led me into the park by foot, since traffic would have put my arrival much later. Two women in the park had taken control of the situation delivering a beautiful baby girl to a laboring young woman. Within seconds, the baby was turning blue and the only thing to wrap the baby in was a head scarf. By this time, I held the baby, covered in blood, as the two women delivered the placenta.

How then can we help?

What I want is to enroll Kenyans and friends of Kenya to pull together for Kenyans through contributions in these three areas.

1. A donation through One In A Million of at least Kshs100 per month from one million of us in the Kenya population will go to great length to alleviate extreme poverty in our nation.
2. Contribution by groups of 10,000 Kenyans at Omega10000 for investment in other business ventures.
3. And a payment of just 1 shilling for brand and consumer participation in poverty reduction.

Register where you feel most suited, if you care enough and would like to be part of the effort to reduce poverty in our country then hang with me.

I have the drive and determination to make all this succeed and have and intend to continue surrounding myself with people of integrity all of whom shall own the projects and work with a common vision. Do not take the back seat. Get on the bus and get involved.

In these hard economic times even the rich are behaving like they need aid. They justify cutting back on charity or even investing. I say it’s the wrong approach stop behaving like a pauper when you really living like a king in comparison. Okay so you can’t travel first class, is there anything wrong with business or economy? You are still in the category with the clarion call- I’ve made it! – your home still enjoys three square meals, a fancy car, a wardrobe, an occasional holiday, a job or business, a bank account, assets, an occasional drink or meal with the guys and girls to work out the stresses of life, a gym membership to work out the excesses, its your life and its nothing less then a success. Don’t stop uttering these words I’ve made it – to avoid the call or responsibility of being part of the solution.

Please visit your chosen project above and register and give me hope that we can avert a revolution and be proud I mean really proud of being Kenyan!
