Revenue: Not Publicly Disclosed/month
Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Started: 2012
My parents worked as healthcare professionals while leading a community church in Ruiru. Our home was always open to relatives, church congregants, and vulnerable community members who needed shelter or medical support. Witnessing my parents prioritize helping others, even selling our family television to assist a struggling neighbor, taught me that life's highest calling is utilizing your skills in service of others.
