Eric Omondi<\/span><\/span><\/strong> is once again preparing for a gruelling long-distance trek \u2014 barely days after completing a 484-kilometre walk to Mombasa.<\/p>\n

The outspoken entertainer has announced his next challenge: a five-day walk from Nairobi to Busia. According to his social media update, the journey will begin on Monday the 2nd and conclude on Friday of the same week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey guys, I will be walking to the Busia border from Nairobi for 5 days from next week Monday, the 2nd to Friday,\u201d he shared online.<\/p>\n

A Mission Driven by \u201cSisi Kwa Sisi\u201d<\/h2>\n

Over the past year, Omondi has firmly positioned himself at the forefront of grassroots activism through his \u201cSisi Kwa Sisi\u201d (Us for Us) initiative. The movement focuses on mobilising ordinary Kenyans to support vulnerable members of society directly.<\/p>\n

The upcoming Nairobi-to-Busia trek aims to raise funds for the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre \u2014 a facility currently under construction.<\/p>\n

According to Omondi, the centre is designed to provide free healthcare and education services to Kenyans who cannot afford them.<\/p>\n

\u201cSisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre will provide Free Health Care and Education to Kenyans,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

No Time to Rest<\/h2>\n

His previous journey to Mombasa, covering more than 480 kilometres, captured nationwide attention. Throughout that trek, Omondi walked across highways under varying weather conditions, often joined by supporters who rallied behind his cause.<\/p>\n

Many assumed he would take time off to recover from the physical strain. Instead, he has made it clear that he is not slowing down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will keep walking until SISI KWA SISI HELP AND RESCUE CENTRE IS COMPLETE,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

Public-Powered Fundraising<\/h2>\n

The Sisi Kwa Sisi initiative relies largely on small public contributions. Omondi has consistently shared the project\u2019s Paybill number, encouraging Kenyans to donate whatever amount they can.<\/p>\n

Transparency has become central to his activism. Using his massive online following, he frequently documents cases of individuals in need and mobilises support for hospital bills, school fees, and other urgent expenses.<\/p>\n

From Comedy to Activism<\/h2>\n

Once widely known as the self-styled \u201cPresident of African Comedy,\u201d Omondi\u2019s transition into full-scale activism has been swift and, at times, controversial. While critics initially dismissed his efforts as publicity stunts, the construction of a permanent rescue centre signals a long-term commitment to social change.<\/p>\n

The upcoming five-day walk to Busia is expected to draw significant crowds along the route, much like his coastal trek. For Omondi, however, the objective remains clear: to ensure that vulnerable Kenyans gain access to basic rights such as healthcare and education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
