How Maridady Motors CEO Sir Eric Returns To His Primary School To Mentor Boychild

Maridady Motors CEO Sir Eric Mwangi is not only a successful businessman but also a passionate mentor for the boy-child.

He believes boys are just as sensitive as girls and need proper guidance and support to grow into responsible and compassionate men.

The motor dealer shared his inspiring journey from a humble background to becoming the investor behind Maridady Motors, one of the leading car dealerships in Kenya.

He urged the boys to work hard, pursue their dreams, and uphold positive values. He also challenged the adult men in the community to take up the role of mentoring the younger generation.

“As fathers of the day, we must rise to the occasion of ensuring that every boy around us is well mentored. This is a collective responsibility for each adult male,” he said.

He joined the Kisima Boys Initiation Program, a Christian-based rite of passage that has been empowering boys in Kiambu County for the last decade.

The program, led by Mr. Gn Kamau Karongo, was held at Gachie Primary School, where Sir Eric was once a pupil.

Sir Eric also expressed his commitment to supporting the Kisima Program and other similar initiatives that aim to nurture the potential of both boys and girls.

He said that Maridady Motors has been partnering with various community champions to make a difference in the community.

One of the company’s flagship projects is the Maridady Driving School Academy, which offers quality and affordable driving lessons to Kenyans. The academy’s mission is to make driving safer and more enjoyable in the country.

Another innovative service that Maridady Motors offers is the Diaspora Car Ownership Program, which helps Kenyans living abroad to own and invest in vehicles in Kenya.

The program provides a hassle-free and secure way of acquiring, maintaining, and renting out cars in the local market.

Mr. Gn Kamau Karongo, the founder of the Kisima Program, thanked Sir Eric for his consistent support and praised his passion for instilling hard work and positive character in the boys.

“Eric has been a great friend and partner of the Kisima Program. He has never hesitated to come and help. He has a passion for mentoring boys to be better men. We appreciate his immense support over the years and look forward to more,” he said.

The Kisima Program has been running since 2013 and has reached over 500 boys and their families.

The program offers mentorship, life skills, and spiritual guidance to boys aged between 12 and 18 years.
