Eric Omondi Kicks Offf 366-Kilometer Trek To Busia Border For Charity

Renowned comedian and philanthropist Eric Omondi has once again captivated the nation by embarking on a grueling five-day charity walk from Nairobi to the Busia border. Dubbed the “Walk of Love,” this 366-kilometer trek officially kicked off on the morning of Monday, March 2, 2026, marking Omondi’s second major endurance feat this year following his successful 486-kilometer walk to Mombasa in February.

The atmosphere in Nairobi was electric as Omondi set off, joined by a high-profile entourage and a massive crowd of supporters. Among the luminaries lending their influence to the cause were Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, and acclaimed Mugithi maestro Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh. Their presence underscored the national significance of Omondi’s mission: to raise the final funds necessary to complete the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre.

According to Omondi, the Sisi Kwa Sisi project is a direct response to the urgent needs of vulnerable Kenyans. The facility, which has already broken ground thanks to funds raised during the Mombasa trek, is envisioned as a comprehensive sanctuary. Once completed—with a target date of May 2026—the center will feature a fully-equipped hospital providing free healthcare, a free secondary school, two dedicated ambulances for emergency response, and a safe house for those in distress. “I will keep walking until the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre is complete,” Omondi declared during a live stream, emphasizing that the initiative is about Kenyans coming together to support one another—Sisi Kwa Sisi.

To reach his fundraising goals, Omondi has introduced an innovative “Buy a Kilometer” campaign. Well-wishers can “purchase” a kilometer for KSh 20,000, a move designed to symbolically reduce the comedian’s physical burden while directly financing the construction of the rescue center. Contributions are not limited to cash; the philanthropist has also appealed for building materials such as iron sheets, cement, and nails. As he navigates the long road through major towns like Nakuru and Kisumu toward the Western border, Omondi continues to leverage his platform to turn a personal physical challenge into a nationwide movement for social justice and collective responsibility.
