Inspired man pledges to join Geoffrey Mosiria in transforming lives of street children

Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has once again found himself at the centre of public attention after reacting to a video from a young man that he says deeply moved him and reignited his drive to continue supporting vulnerable children living on the streets.
In a statement shared on his Instagram page on Monday, April 27, 2026, Mosiria said the video inspired him and reminded him why he keeps pushing forward in his work of transforming lives. He noted that moments like that give him energy to continue advocating for dignity and a better future for children who still find themselves in harsh street conditions.
“I came across this video online, and listening to it not only inspired me, but also motivated me to keep working harder, knowing that someone else out there will be touched to join me in this journey of transformation, changing our children’s lives by giving them dignity and a better life away from the streets,” Mosiria stated.
Mosiria has, in the recent past, built a reputation for actively engaging with street families in Nairobi, often documenting rescue efforts and outreach activities. He has intervened to rescue children and vulnerable individuals from the streets, sometimes arranging shelter, reunification with families, and basic support for survival.
He has also consistently pushed the idea that long-term solutions are needed instead of short-term aid. He has also warned Kenyans against giving street families direct cash, arguing that it may worsen dependency and delay real rehabilitation efforts.
Clout chasing
However, Mosiria’s approach has not escaped criticism. A section of the public and rights observers have accused him of clout chasing, arguing that some of his rescue videos risk turning vulnerable children’s struggles into social media content.
Mosiria, on his part, has defended his actions, insisting that sharing such stories is meant to inspire action rather than attract attention. He has maintained that documenting these moments helps raise awareness and push more people and institutions to get involved in helping street families.
