Known as the self-declared President of Comedy in Africa, Eric Omondi has leveraged his fame and influence to champion charitable causes, raising funds for medical bills, school fees, housing, and business ventures.

His philanthropic efforts have even led to the construction of a vital bridge in Nyakumbati village, Kisii County, helping residents, particularly schoolchildren, safely cross a once treacherous river.

Omondi’s fiancée, Lynne Njiru, was also at the ceremony and took a moment to praise Eric’s relentless commitment to improving the lives of others. “He goes to great lengths to make life better for those in need,” she said.
