Chamwada, recognizing Bwabi's determination, took a bold step and provided him with the opportunity he had been yearning for.
Bwabi was enrolled at the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication (KIMC), although he was unsure whether Chamwada would be able to cover the hefty school fees.
"He took a big step and enrolled me at the Kenya Mass which is a big school the fees structure was also massive I wondered who was going to pay all that but he accepted, he paid which left me very happy," Bwabi said.
Today, Bwabi has transformed his life and passion into a career as a videographer, photographer, and editor.
