The slum lighting project brought Esther Passaris face to face with the degrading and inhuman conditions that Kenyan slum dwellers had to endure. This experience affected her strongly, opening her eyes to what she can do to transform the lives of these slum dwellers.
Her passion and energy is infectious and I recently had the opportunity to meet this amazing vibrant woman. She is really a twister full of energy, warmth and passion which can be infectious. Seeing her full of life as she excitedly outlines her plans for and visions to make this a better place for herself and her fellow Kenyans.
In 2003 she incorporated a non profit firm called Driving Kenya Foundation to help her with her vision to reach out and share with others. One of the projects called One in A Million is an example of the sharing concept whereby Kenyans work together to alleviate poverty within our country. Her belief is to for Kenyan men and women pulling together to achieve a Kenya free of Poverty.
As the social entrepreneur that she is, she has made a difference to peoples lives in many ways. She has employed street families and deaf individuals in her companies. She has contributed to many causes within the communities and schools.
She has been quite an inspiration to many young people in the universities, many schools and social gatherings in Kenya. Her talks being on success, business, social work, passion, giving back, finding balance, and dealing with challenges.
She has been featured many times by Jeff Koinange in Capital talk and rubbed shoulders with the likes of Richard Branson.
One of the things she strives for is to leave the world a better place which she appreciates is challenging but doable. Esther Passaris inspires many women trying to start business in Kenya that they too can succeed.
