The streets of Nairobi were filled with energy on Tuesday morning, February 10, 2026, as comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi officially flagged off his most ambitious project to date: a 486-kilometre walk to the coastal city of Mombasa.
Dubbed the “Walk of Love,” the initiative aims to raise millions for the construction of the Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre.
Omondi, who has transitioned into a full-time philanthropist, was joined by hundreds of supporters as he marched along Mombasa Road, aiming to reach Sultan Hamud by nightfall.
The proposed facility is set to be a game-changer for social welfare in Kenya. Unlike previous one-off donations, this centre will provide sustainable infrastructure for the needy.
“This is not just a walk; it’s a mission. We are building a warehouse, a clinic, and a free secondary school for those who have nowhere else to turn,” Omondi told followers during a live broadcast.
With a target arrival date of February 14, 2026, Omondi has set a punishing pace. He expects to conclude the journey at Mama Ngina Waterfront Park, where a public reception is planned.
Governors from across the route have already met with the comedian to pledge their logistical and financial support.
As the “Walk of Love” continues, the eyes of the nation are on Omondi to see if his legs—and the public’s generosity—can carry this dream to the finish line.
