Philanthropy & Activism
In 2016, Davidson founded a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) dubbed Vijana Amkeni meaning “Youths Rise Up” with an aim to empower youth across the country; politically, socially and economically.
“I saw the need to begin a movement that brings youth together to voice issues and be involved in national affairs. We use social media to mobilise each other,” he said while appearing on Switch TV in 2019.
He also mentors the youth on health and mental well-being. This was as a response to the rising cases of suicides in the country.
The NGO is also big on environmental conservation. They have planted over 250,000 trees in various counties in Kenya and aim to plant 47,000,000 trees by 2022.
