Comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi will lead a 486-kilometre charity walk from Nairobi to Mombasa to raise money for vulnerable Kenyans.
The walk is part of his Sisi Kwa Sisi campaign and is scheduled to begin on February 10.
It will involve public figures from different fields, including celebrities, athletes, creatives, and media personalities, who will join parts of the journey.
Omondi recently met Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Shariff Nassir to brief him on the plan. (read here)
According to the schedule, participants will walk from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day for four straight days.
The goal is to draw attention to people in need while also collecting donations from Kenyans willing to contribute to social support projects.
This walk is another step in Omondi’s community fundraising drive, which has collected more than Ksh72 million since 2024 for different causes across the country.
Governor Abdulswamad confirmed his support for the initiative and said he will join the walkers for the last 2 to 5 kilometres when they reach Mombasa on February 14, which is also Valentine’s Day.
In a Facebook post, the governor said the campaign shows how Kenyans can unite and support one another through shared action.
The walk will end with a public celebration at Mama Ngina Waterfront in Mombasa.
The event will include performances by comedians, DJs, and musicians, and is meant to appreciate donors and volunteers who take part in the effort.
Omondi started the Sisi Kwa Sisi movement in 2023 after shifting from comedy to activism.
He argued that many national problems are created by politics and need direct citizen action.
The campaign encourages small contributions, even as low as one shilling, to prove that many small donations can produce real results when combined.
In early 2026, the campaign added a new project called Inua Mama, which helps pay school fees for children of single mothers and widows.
Several fundraising efforts under the movement have already gained public attention.
They include raising over Ksh800,000 for a grandmother who tried to clear school fees using six chickens, building houses for homeless individuals such as James Ongoya, renovating classrooms in Siaya County, and collecting Ksh6.4 million for medical treatment cases.
During the 2024 protests, the group also raised funds for the family of blogger Albert Ojwang, who died in police custody in a disputed case.
Still, critics say some projects lack long-term follow-up, with a few beneficiaries reporting that support stopped after the initial fundraising phase.
