At his school at St. Mary’s Secondary School, he was one of the top performers in his classes, achieving the Top Achievers Award for scoring an A average in the Kenya National Exams, and recognized by his teachers for his engaged participation in class. Moses involved himself in sports and extracurriculars as well, participating in tournaments in table tennis and founding a roller skaters club called “Limuru Roller Skaters Club” where they practice on the weekends.
As an emerging entrepreneur, Moses sees the many ways for IT to improve the lives of people in his country. Highlighting the inefficiencies in business operations in his country, he hopes his degree in Business at UBC will help him to develop IT solutions that will allow automation of simple tasks to help the growth of small and medium enterprises. He also envisions an online education platform that will allow better accessibility to education and help reduce unemployment among youth. So far he has developed “Afriemerge”, a medical mobile application that enables users to learn basic first aid skills.
