Kenyans named the most genius in the continent Africa

• Kenyans name most generous people in the whole of Africa a recent survey. 
• Kenyans were recently named the most generous people in Africa and the second most generous globally.
• In a recent survey conducted where people were interviewed across 142 countries, Kenya came second globally after Indonesia, as a country where people are more likely to help strangers.

The news about Kenya being ranked Africa’s most generous country has not come as a shocker as Kenya is known for its spirit of generosity and selfless giving and which has been captured and documented so many times. in a report in 2019 by World Index, Kenya appeared the only country in Africa in the top 20 list of most generous. In Africa, Nigeria came second and Zambia third and they took positions 22 and 52 respectively in the global list.

Several Kenyans have raised the Kenyan flag high with their generosity acts. At least half of Kenyans are said to contribute towards a charity work or an organization.

A scenario that came out as the ‘epitome’ of selflessness is the one for “Kenyans for Kenya” a known initiative started in July 2011 by corporate leaders and the Red Cross in response to media reports of famine and deaths from starvation in Turkana. Through the initiative, Kenyans raised Ksh 1 Bn to support fellow Kenyans who were starving due to the drought that had persisted.

Evidence to prove the generosity and big-heartedness of Kenyans are numerous. The deep-rooted culture of giving was borne out of the Harambee culture initiated by Kenya’s first president Jomo Kenyatta

Recent case of Kenyas generosity were documented during the Genz protests, where citizens of good will managed to raise over 10 millions to cater for medications and hospital expenses for those injured. Worth to note is also the ‘Sisi kwa Sisi’ initiative by comedian Eric Omondi that is taking Kenyas to a notch higher, dressing plights of people suffering from various problems.
