Founder and PresidentOngoza
Currently pursuing a graduate degree at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs, Eddy is the founder of Peace for Africa and Economic Development (PAD). PAD focuses on identifying vulnerable youth groups in remote Kenyan communities, helping them establish businesses to prevent their manipulation into political violence, crime, and participation in illegal sects. In 2015, PAD was rebranded as Ongoza, which means "Lead" in Swahili.
Eddy is an alumnus of the African Leadership Academy and Trinity College Hartford. He is also a member of the African Leadership Network and a trained UNESCO International Youth Peace Ambassador. Eddy has provided consultancy on youth engagement strategies for both the MasterCard Foundation and Equity Bank. His work with Ongoza earned him the 2012 Impact Award from the Kenya Diaspora and a spot on the list of the Top 30 Under 30 Most Influential Young People on the African continent in 2013.
