Mugo who is widely known as (James Ploti) spoke to Optiven Foundation, and had this to say: “You don’t need to have millions to touch a life. I dedicated part of my little salary to be going towards touching the life of the needy. The art of giving is Biblical, give whatever little you have. A life will be inspired with my little donation”. Mugo who is a renowned philanthropist is also one of the staff supporting the Soweto Children Home (https://www.optivenfoundation.org/newsandblogs/99-optiven-foundation-to-unveil-new-home-at-kayole-children-s-home )which is largely supported by the Optiven Foundation. Speaking shortly after receiving the donation, Optiven Foundation Chairman, Mr. George Wachiuri noted that it is such partnerships that are needed to bring smiles to our sisters and brothers who are living with disability. Here is what Mr Mugo had to say on his Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=415749859257416&set=a.245180596314344&type=3&theater )
