Touch and transform lives

Ombachi said that he was out to touch and transform the lives of the most underprivileged people in society.

"In the end, it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished. It’s about who you’ve lifted, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back. A simple comfort food recipe that can feed and please a crowd!" Ombachi captioned the video clip posted on his official Twitter handle.

Ombachi has been urging netizens to support his initiative.

"To celebrate Good Kenya Foundation fourth birthday, we have birthday boxes to gift your loved ones, hand made by the youth and filled with products from supportive brands," he wrote on his Twitter handle.

Celebrated media personality Julie Gichuru lauded him for the move on what she termed as leading by example.

"Incredibly in so many ways. So much to learn from this. Thank you for your work and the learning that we get from this," Gichuru wrote.

Supporting the street kids

Another social media user identified as Nasasira Tindimwebwa asked Ombachi to tell her how he came up with the idea of supporting the street kids.

"What was the creamy stuff you added to the chicken? And how did you get started? With the feeding station idea? I want to begin. I am just scared to do it alone. Blessings from Uganda," she said.

Another tweep, Patricia Bentley, asked Ombachi if he has ever thought of selling the food and donating the money from the sales to the needy.

"This is amazing. Have you ever thought of selling that which you made maybe to construction workers, matatu drivers, nurses on the go or the like and then the money made to help feed the needy? It could be a great investment. Either way, impressive," she tweeted.
