“I worked closely with an NGO called A Leg To Stand On which focuses on providing artificial prosthetic, wheel chairs and movement assistance to kids with disabilities across developing countries. Since this objective was aligned with my kokorozashi, I volunteered to research and collect data on which group of children needs help and which locations, as well as how the organization could reach them. My help extended to sourcing funds through donations and creating fund raising events online. My second focus in helping Africans is in the line of technology. Creating coding and software engineering awareness is something I am motivated to do. I started gaming hubs in Zengeza, a low income community I grew up in, which provides young people with the exposure to how gaming works and how they are created.”
