Introduction: A Global Mission to Build a Culture of Safety

Safety is more than a policy—it’s a lifestyle. My mission as a globally recognized Ambassador of Safety is to help individuals, organizations, and communities create environments where safety is a core value, not an afterthought.

Over the years, I have passionately championed safety sensitization across industries and communities. As the founder of the Nairobi Safety Shop, the largest one-stop safety shop globally, and Makinika Afrika International, Africa’s premier safety training institution, I’ve spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives to promote safety awareness. I’ve trained over 100,000 first-aiders, responded to over 270 major incidents as an emergency first responder, and established global safety standards through my work with renowned organizations like St. John Ambulance Kenya, the Kenya Red Cross, and Bloodlink Foundation.

In addition to my practical contributions, I am the author of 12 transformative books, including the globally acclaimed The Art of Effective Church Ushering, Dare Not Quit, and Overcoming All Odds. With thousands of publications and blogs on workplace safety, fire safety, occupational health, road safety, and more, my mission has impacted lives worldwide.
