A MAN ON A MISSION:


A MAN ON A MISSION:

Born Zackary Kimotho in kigumo division Muranga county back in 1968, zack attended Karinga primary school and from onset he was poised for academic achievement, coming top of his class during exams.

He went for his ordinary level education at Nyeri High school. His star was shining from the onset and in 1988, after his 0-levels, he was accepted in Nakuru High School for his A- levels (advanced level). As mandatory, Zack joined the National Youth service in 1988 to give back to the society in service.

Then January 4th 1994 and zack graduated from the University of Nairobi attaining a Bachelor of veterinary medicine.

The year 2000 saw him marry the love of life-Doris wawira, with whom a year later God opened her womb and they were blessed with a bouncing bay boy Daniel.

The same year 2003, zack lost his wife and his job too. And in 2004, while in the nairobi-nakuru highway junction, an armed man approached Zack's car and rudely in Swahili piped,"Kwani huoni ni nini nimebeba?" (Can’t you see what I am carrying?)

The man had a gun and at close range opened fire calling zack "stupid”. 

Now zack is on a mission only he himself can accomplish. Zack is heading to South Africa on a wheelchair because that's where the nearest spinal cord injury rehabilitation centre is located. even as many hope that Kenyans will unite in their donations and quest to raise Ksh 250 million  to build a facility here and hence bring Zack home.

The journey to South Africa on a wheelchair is tiresome. We need to bring Zack home before he gets to South Africa on a wheelchair. That's the appeal.
