There is something powerful about watching a young person discover what they are capable of.

My name is Captain Asego. I am a teacher by profession. For the past three years, I have worked with Daraja Kenya Initiative as a youth mentor. I have taught in some of the big schools in Kenya — and in all these spaces, I have seen one thing clearly:

There is a gap in creative mentorship.

Our boys and girls are talented.
The poet who needs a pen and paper.
The footballer who needs boots and a field.
The musician who needs a guitar and a stage.
The spoken word artist who simply needs to be heard.
The tech mind who needs a laptop and guidance.
The dancer who needs a platform.
The visual artist who needs a canvas.

But too many of these talents remain unseen. Unexposed. Unused.

And when talent is not nurtured, something else fills the gap — drugs, crime, hopelessness, social evils.

Kijana Rise Foundation is a dream born from conversations, experience, and a deep burden for this generation. Together with partners, we are building a bridge — a bridge between the streets and opportunity, between drugs and destiny, between social evils and purpose.

We want to locate talent in visual arts, spoken word, music, sports, dance, and tech.
We want to build it. Mentor it. Expose it to opportunity.

We believe in He for She.
We believe in a creative generation.
We believe in a rising generation.

This is more than a foundation.
It is a call.
It is a movement.
It is hope.

Let’s raise a generation that knows what they are capable of.

Raising boys into men requires intention.

In mentorship spaces, I use simple but powerful engagement tools that challenge boys to observe closely, recognize leadership, and take responsibility. These exercises build awareness, accountability, and values-driven leadership.

I genuinely enjoy this work. There is immense potential among boys, and society thrives when we intentionally raise men of character, conviction, and courage—men who lead with purpose and stand for what is right.

This cohort was hosted at Daraja Academy during a Boys’ Bootcamp (2nd–6th) as part of The Man I Am mentorship program. The boys are academically sponsored by 410 Bridge, whose support strengthens both academic growth and character formation.

Mentorship is not an event. It is a process.

Training sessions like today’s remind me why I love what I do.
As a Trainer of Trainers (TOT) at Daraja Academy, I facilitated a physical and an online session on “Beyond the Lecture — Learner-Centred Approaches” as we prepare for Competency Based Education in Senior School.
My mission: mentor teachers to teach differently, boldly, and creatively, so learners can thrive. 🌱📚

🌍 Mission Sieku – Laikipia’s Furthest End- Mentoring Men 🇰🇪

For the past two days, my brother Stanley and I had the honor of being in Sieku, a place right at the border of Laikipia, Samburu, and Isiolo Counties — a region known for its challenges, but full of resilient and brilliant young men.

We joined the community for a football tournament that went far beyond the game. ⚽
Over 150 youth gathered — and together, we talked about peacebuilding, drug abuse, s*x education, and most importantly, becoming men of purpose and integrity. 💪🏾

In a place where cattle rustling has been the norm, we witnessed hope rising — young men ready to choose peace, responsibility, and a brighter future for their communities. 🌅

I’m grateful for this opportunity to mentor, listen, and inspire. The journey continues — one heart, one conversation, one village at a time. ❤️

During the Race for Daraja fundraiser at Ol Pejeta Conservancy, held in support of girl education, I had the privilege to speak about a life-changing program: The Man I Am.
This unique boys’ empowerment curriculum, which I lead as Mentorship Officer and Trainer at Daraja Kenya, is reaching schools across Laikipia County. I was moved by the overwhelming support and realization from the community that indeed—the boy child also needs guidance, mentorship, and empowerment.
As we continue to uplift and educate girls, let us also prepare boys to grow into men of integrity, strength, and purpose—ready to stand alongside empowered women.
Because true progress is not one-sided. It is Him for Her. 💪✨
