On his birthday, Boniface Mwangi, a Kenyan activist, is reaching out to his fans for help in amplifying his work in exposing injustices and bringing justice to the downtrodden.
Since launching his platform, Sema Ukweli (Say The Truth), on March 14, 2019, Mwangi has published 53 issues, resulting in several notable successes, including the shutdown of a rogue children's home in Machakos and the resolution of a complaint against NTSA officials.
With a growing following of 3.9 million people on Facebook and 1 million on Twitter, Mwangi is now seeking to build a team to help him do more to help those in need.
His birthday wish is to convert his platform into an institution that tells stories ignored by mainstream media, with bold and fearless journalism, and a focus on speaking truth to power and helping victims get justice.
