When Esther Passaris went into Slum lighting she was brought face to face with the degrading and inhuman conditions that people in the slums live. This had a profound effect on her life, opening her eyes to other dimensions of life, especially in the slums that transforming the lives in the slums have become more than her personal goal and her passion.
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.
She started in 2003 the Driving Kenya Foundation a non profit organization to reach out to others in her sharing nature and her desire to change the world. One project she has started is called One In A Million where each contributor puts aside every month a minimal amount towards the eradication of poverty. She believes in the need to pull together men and women of integrity who have made it to not only work together but also to commit to the goal of A Kenya free of Poverty
Being the social entrepreneur she is, she has employed homeless families and the deaf individuals within her companies. She has also helped within many 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 frequently been featured by the media like Jeff Koinange in Capital talk and can be seen rubbing shoulders with the likes of Richard Branson.
Leaving the world a better place has been one of the things she strives for and the journey that she has started, though challenging is all worth it. Esther Passaris has shown women in Kenya that they too can also excel in business.
