Big Brother Stars’ In Nairobi For Charity

Gossip — 19 November 2011

The visit by former housemates in the Big Brother Africa house to Nairobi for charity boosted the Anti Jigger campaigns in their respective countries.

According to the Ahadi Kenya CEO, Dr. Stanley Kamau the visit has generated a lot of interest in various countries. The former contestants who visited were Danny (Ethiopia), Wendall (Zimbabwe), Zeus (Botswana), Lomwe and Felicia (Malawi), Mumba and Kimberly (Zambia), Bernadina (Namibia) and Bhoke (Tanzania).

“We have had calls from various African countries asking how they can support the cause and be part of it,” Stanley told Word Is, “Big Brother winner Wendall is starting a fundraising for the cause and we are planning on starting an anti jigger campaign in Ghana come early 2012.”

“Many of them realized that they also have the same issue of jiggers being a menace in their countries and I hope the visit will go along way in eradicating it,” Stanley concluded.

The campaign was also over the weekend feted at the Marketing Society of Kenya (MSK) Awards gala night at KWS, where Stanley was named the 2011’s marketing warrior for championing the anti-jigger campaign in East Africa.

Ahadi Kenya has formed partnerships with over 62 corporate bodies in its fight against jiggers. Miss World 2005 Cecilia Mwangi and anti-jigger campaign ambassador attributed the awards to their consistence and passion calling on more corporate bodies to join in and put anti-jigger campaign as one of their CSR activities.
