By John Kariuki

Dr. Hosea Kili, the Founder, Chairman, and Trustee of the Akili Foundation, led an inspiring call for collective action during the Foundation’s Fundraising Dinner, an event that brought together friends, partners, and changemakers united under the theme “Empowering Lives Through Learning and Health.”

The evening was not just about raising funds but about igniting hope and reaffirming the belief that access to quality education and healthcare is the cornerstone of a just and inclusive society. Dr. Kili’s presence and passionate appeal embodied the Foundation’s commitment to transforming lives, particularly for vulnerable communities across Kenya.

Since its establishment in 2011, the Akili Foundation, under the leadership of Dr. Kili and his wife, Mama Secilia, has implemented life-changing programs that target marginalized groups, focusing on improving education infrastructure, promoting health awareness, and supporting community-driven development initiatives. Over the years, their leadership has enabled thousands of children to access better learning facilities while providing vital healthcare support to underserved areas.

In his keynote remarks, Dr. Kili expressed profound gratitude to partners and individuals who have consistently supported the Foundation’s mission, emphasizing that meaningful change requires both financial contributions and a shared dedication to uplifting society. He celebrated the remarkable spirit of generosity in the room, noting that every pledge represented a tangible step toward breaking cycles of poverty and inequality.

The event also served as a platform to showcase the Foundation’s milestones, including the successful sponsorship of students from low-income backgrounds, the construction of health and learning centers, and the initiation of programs that enhance youth skills for sustainable livelihoods.

Attendees described the evening as a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when compassion meets purposeful leadership. The Akili Foundation Fundraising Dinner was, at its core, a testament to Dr. Kili’s enduring vision: a Kenya where every citizen, regardless of background, has the tools and opportunities to thrive.
