Gospel artist Daddy Owen has shed light on comedian-turned-activist Eric Omondi’s successful completion of his much-talked-about Nairobi to Mombasa charity walk within a four-day timeframe.
The comedian recently embarked on a 486-kilometer walking and running expedition from Nairobi to Mombasa, with the objective of raising funds to build the Sisi kwa Sisi rescue center, commencing his trek on Monday, February 10, 2026.
This initiative promptly captured nationwide focus, prompting numerous Kenyans on social media to question the method by which the comedian traversed such an extensive distance in such a brief time span.
Responding to the interest surrounding the undertaking, Daddy Owen clarified that the journey was intended not merely as a test of physical endurance but also as a symbolic fundraising endeavor.
“I’ve observed many inquiring how Eric Omondi reached Mombasa in four days. The walk functioned as a fundraiser where sending 10,000 shillings covered one kilometer, indicating he wasn’t required to physically walk the entire 486 kilometers,” Daddy Owen explained.
As described by the musician, this model enabled supporters to engage in the cause by financially sponsoring segments of the distance, transforming the expedition into a collaborative humanitarian endeavor rather than solely a physical challenge.
Upon finishing the expedition, Eric Omondi conveyed appreciation to Kenyans for their support of the initiative, remarking that the response surpassed all expectations.
“We have surpassed anticipated fundraising targets during this walk. I extend my gratitude to Kenyans for the backing they demonstrated from Nairobi to Mombasa,” he stated.
The charitable trek drew substantial crowds along major thoroughfares, with supporters offering encouragement, making contributions, and joining the comedian for portions of the route.
The undertaking also ignited discussions on digital platforms about innovative approaches public personalities can employ to rally resources for assisting disadvantaged communities.
Omondi’s endeavor now ranks among his most extensive charitable undertakings, integrating activism, public engagement, and fundraising to bring attention to the requirements of impoverished families throughout the nation.
