ODM supporter and activist Nuru Okanga is carrying a heavy burden with a big heart

ODM supporter and activist Nuru Okanga is carrying a heavy burden with a big heart. Despite having no stable job, Okanga is personally sponsoring the education of 30 secondary school students in his Kakamega village—some are orphans, others raised by single parents or from extremely humble backgrounds.

He’s also supporting seven Grade 7 pupils, using the little he gets. “I don’t have a job, but I do it because it’s the right thing, and I believe God will bless me. Fees in junior schools are very high now,” he says.

But his biggest frustration? The silence from political leaders he’s reached out to. “I once asked a politician to buy me a carton of books in 2024. To date, he has never responded,” Okanga shared. Yet, he still pushes on—recently helping a young man with iron sheets, out of his own pocket.

While the diaspora sometimes chips in, Okanga says most local leaders have chosen to ignore the real needs on the ground. He’s doing what many won’t—with nothing but faith and love for his people.🙌
