“Later on I was called in as a co-presenter in the popular afternoon show called Goteana. I now have my own house and I no longer sleep in the streets. I also have a car and I am building my mother a house in Banana. As a way of giving back to the community, I visit a children’s home every week. To accomplish this, I usually set aside sh20,000 from my salary every month. Last Christmas I shared a meal with more than 2000 street children in Uhuru Park, where we cooked and ate together:”

Bonoko Deh has also worked on more empowering projects especially for the older street youths. all these without too much fuss and publicity only when probed does he divulge the information.

“I have also opened several car washes for some of my former colleagues in the streets besides renting others houses. My vision is to build a street children rehabilitation center where these homeless people will get at least a meal everyday and a place to spend the night. The facility will also have a rehabilitation section since most of these street people are addicted to glue, bang and other drugs”
