By Charles Ouma, March 3, 2026Comedian Eric Omondi has continued his walk from Nairobi to Busia, defying heavy rains on the second day of the charity initiative.
The comedian was seen braving a heavy downpour in Gilgil with a sizeable procession accompanying him through the town as he headed towards Busia.
In a statement on his social media profiles on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, Omondi asserted that against all odds, he would make it to his destination.
“Against all odds…Tumepita Gilgil na Mvua. Busia tutafika. Sisi kwa Sisi Help and Rescue centre will be a reality soon,” the philanthropist stated on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
This loosely translates to: “We have passed Gilgil amid heavy downpour and shall make it to Busia and Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre will be a reality soon”.
He shared details through which well-wishers can contribute to the noble cause whose objective is to raise funds for the construction of a help and rescue centre.

Mugithi star Samuel Muchoki alias Samidoh, social media sensation Azziad Nasenya and athlete Ferdinand Omanyala are among celebrities who joined Omondi for a section of the walk.
The philanthropist will cover a distance of 366 kilometres over a period of five days in his bid to raise funds for the construction of a help and rescue centre.
The walk to Busia comes after a similar initiative that saw the comedian cover 486 kilometers in a daring walk from Nairobi to Mombasa, dubbed the Walk of Love.
Construction works begin
Omondi revealed that the walk is aimed at raising additional funds needed to construct the help and rescue centre that will also have a school, a hospital and two ambulances.
“Hey guys, I will be walking to the Busia border from Nairobi for 5 days from next week, Monday the 2nd to Friday. Sisi Kwa Sisi Help and Rescue Centre will provide free health care and education to Kenyans,” Omondi announced.
“I walked to Mombasa and raised funds to begin this project. I will keep walking until the SISI KWA SISI help and rescue centre is complete.” He stated.
Construction of the facility has commenced with the support of well-wishers.
