Comedian Eric Omondi set off on an extraordinary 486-kilometre journey from Nairobi to Mombasa, determined to raise funds for a new help and rescue centre.
The initiative, dubbed the “Walk of Love,” began at Nyayo National Stadium on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, where a crowd of supporters gathered to cheer him on.
Omondi said every step of the journey is dedicated to creating the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre, a facility aimed at providing essential services to communities in need.
“The rescue centre will house a warehouse, two ambulances, a clinic, and a free secondary school,” Omondi said.
“I am walking to raise funds to build the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre. You can walk with me by donating via Paybill 522533, account number 9991655, under the name Sisi Kwa Sisi Walk With Me.”
Several well-known Kenyan personalities joined Omondi at the start of the walk, including rapper Kaligraph Jones, TV presenter Jeff Koinange, comedian Churchill, and musician Daddy Owen.
Their presence offered support and encouragement as he began the ambitious trek.
Omondi said the Sisi Kwa Sisi campaign, launched in 2024, was inspired by the challenges facing many Kenyans.
“People are suffering, not able to pay rent and school fees. I therefore saw that the only way we can help each other is by coming together. People are sending as little as Sh1 but directly to the person in need because if they could be sending to me, then it would be another issue,” he said.
He confirmed that not a shilling from the contributions goes to him.
The comedian, however, acknowledged the challenges of helping others.
“Such situations are also challenging because I may be supposed to help someone, fail to pick up their calls, and the next minute they see me going live to raise money for another,” he said.
Omondi added that emergencies sometimes arise far from his base, including as far as Wajir.
“Even while helping with the building of the bridge in Kisii, we were stopped, and they questioned us, saying we were not contractors,” he narrated.
