Rapper Frasha was over the weekend in Machakos as part of his I Am Frasha Foundation charitable activities. The former doctor fell in love with hip hop and quit his job, but the passion for the craft is still embedded deep in his heart.
Speaking about his trip yesterday in the Katangi area of Machakos, Frasha told Word Is, "Together with my team, and an amazing support by Sportpesa and Easy Taxi, we went for our final visit of Katangi, where we donated a tuk tuk and some 10 wheelchairs for use by the disabled kids. The reason why chose to do charity work for kids living with disabilities, was because of my past experiences at Aga Khan. I used to associate myself a lot with such kids and I know their medical needs and the challenges that they go through. My background in medicine pushed me to take this path. It's a journey I will pursue even further in touching more lives."
The grateful people of Katangi gifted Frasha and his team with a goat.
"That mbuzi was given to us as a group last year, but we collected it yesterday," Frasha said, "We will eat it of course... or have it up for sale! We thank the people of Katangi for believing and walking the journey with us."
The Foundation has previously been to Mombasa, Turkana, Kisumu, Nakuru, Athi River and Mutituni, helping the disabled with therapy as well as providing medical units among other charitable activities.
The Dandia hitmaker also has an album launch coming up in April 29. The launch will be for his debut solo album Dakitare and it will be an invites only affair.
