Citizen Digital partners with Around Africa on Motorbike for historic ride

Citizen Digital has partnered with Around Africa on Motorcycle – in an initiative aimed at reaching and touching the four extreme points of Africa: The Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western – on motorbikes.

A core team of seven riders will travel to the four corners of Africa – a captivating adventure that will be documented and shared with Royal Media Services audience through its Citizen Digital platforms.

For the first time in history, seven African Motorcycle Riders -- all of them Kenyans -- will make a historic trip around the Coastline of Africa (40,000 Kms) in 6 Months from December 2024 to May 2025.

“The trip aims to raise funds for the establishment of the LOGOS Educational Endowment Fund to support 500 Students who are currently on scholarship with the LOGOS Scholarship Fund in different High Schools in Kenya,” said Pastor Nick Korir of Nairobi Chapel – which established the Fund in 2008.

“We are looking forward to receiving content from the bikers in quite an innovative way. The rich and captivating content will be shared with our audience,” said Royal Media Services Director -- Marketing & Digital Transformation Carol Wachira.

“As Royal Media Services we are doing this to help support a course that is dear to us, education for the needy children. We are looking forward to a safe ride around Africa. Our viewers please remain engaged and plug into our platform and let us support these bikers.”

The Fund is meant to provide High School and Tertiary Education for the needy and deserving students. So far the Fund has sponsored over 500 students in various high schools, universities, and colleges in 40 counties in Kenya.

“This is a scholarships to deserving students whose parents or guardians have limited financial resources and is part of Nairobi Chapel’s engagement in Social Justice.”

It’s a beautiful ride for a good course.

The highlight of the trip will be reaching the 4 extreme points of the African continent, through Al-Ghīrān Point, near Al-Abyaḍ Point (Cape Blanc), Tunisia, Cape Agulhas, South Africa, Eastern: Xaafuun (Hafun) Point, near Cape Gwardafuy (Guardafui), Somalia, Western: Almadi Point (Pointe des Almadies), on Cape Verde (Cap Vert) and Senegal.

The LOGOS Scholarship Fund goes beyond academic performance and focuses on mentorship, character formation, empowerment and holistic transformation as it aims to educate students for Life and Eternity.
