Kenyan comedian-turned-philanthropist Eric Omondi has once again made a difference by raising over Ksh. 480,000 for Florence Odhiambo, a mother in Mathare whose roof was removed by the landlord due to rent arrears. The initial awareness about Florence Odhiambo's situation was brought to light by Priscilla Waimani.
Hours later, the matter got the attention of Eric Omondi who immediately appealed to Kenyans to help the struggling mother through his initiative “Team Sisi Kwa Sisi’.
On January 24, 2024, Omondi shared an update with his fans and followers, revealing that they successfully raised a minimum of Sh480,000 for Florence.
“We are at 480K!!! TEAM SISI KWA SISI!!! Tuendelee, today we are changing the life of this widow with her Children forever!!! Keep Sending to her Number 0716492328 (NAME: FLORENCE ODHIAMBO) LETS GOOO!!!,” Omondi updated.

Prior to launching the online fundraiser, the comedian assured that they were committed to transforming the woman's situation. He highlighted that Florence Adhiambo had endured two days in the house after the landlord removed the roof, leaving her with no alternative place to go.
“What the Enemy tries to use to Destroy you is what God uses to UPLIFT you!!! This widow's roof was removed last Friday Because she had not paid Rent. She has stayed in that house with 2 Children and one baby until today when @priscillawaimani discovered her this evening. You can imagine the Rain over the weekend
(The young one looks a bit sick) WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE HER LIFE TODAY!!! When the sun rises tomorrow HER LIFE and that of her children will be Different. Send her Whatever you can to her Number 0716492328 (NAME: FLORENCE ODHIAMBO) TEAM SISI KWA SISI LETS DO IT!!!,” Omondi shared.
This comes at a time when Omondi is also building two bridges in Kisii County through his ‘Sisi Kwa Sisi” initiative.
