About Kepher

Bio

I am a teacher by profession,currently I am an activist, I am also a member of community health worker. I live in the largest slum in the world that is Kibera. I have and still love teaching school going children on drugs,HIV/AIDS preventions,career choices beside my community sensitization. Why TED and TEDx, I love the idea behind the TED and TEDx since it gives me an opportunity to educate and expose the community to what others does out there in the world. In the theme of TED ideas worth spreading, after attending and listening to other speaker around the world, I got the passion to use the platform of TEDx to spread the ideas further.

I'm passionate about

Education because with that is possible to change the perceptions of the community that I live in that is Kibera especially the youths, also the older people to see things differently.

An idea worth spreading

The TED story

I first got to know about TED and TEDx when I was invited to TEDxKibera event in Kibera and from that point on I got to love the idea behind TED and TEDx. Thus this has propelled me as a change maker and one who loves education to not only be part of the TEDxCommunity but to also help spread the ideas worth spreading
