Business Network International (BNI), one of Nairobi’s leading business networking communities, will host an exclusive Financial Literacy Dinner at the Mövenpick Hotel, Nairobi.
Themed “Money, Money Everywhere, and Nothing in the Pocket,” the event aims to spark honest conversations around personal finance, wealth management, and intentional giving while raising funds for the Kids2Kids street children rehabilitation program.
Why Financial Literacy Matters Now More Than Ever
Despite rising incomes among Kenya’s professionals and entrepreneurs, many still struggle with budgeting, debt, and long-term investments.
According to the Standard & Poor’s Global Financial Literacy Survey, only 38% of Kenyan adults are financially literate, and over 60% of urban middle-income earners have little or no savings.
“Many hardworking professionals know how to make money, but not necessarily how to manage or multiply it,” said Mr. Muraguri, BNI Kenya National Director. “Through this dinner, we want to inspire conversations about wealth, purpose, and stewardship to help people not just earn more, but live and give with intention.”
What to Expect at the Financial Literacy Dinner
The event will bring together 150+ guests, including business leaders, financial experts, philanthropists, and C-suite executives from across Kenya’s private sector. Highlights include:
- A panel discussion on personal finance, debt management, and investment strategies
- A silent auction to raise funds for Kids2Kids
- Networking opportunities with top financial minds and impact-driven leaders
Giving with Purpose: Supporting Kids2Kids
Proceeds from the dinner will support Kids2Kids, a ministry under ACK Christ Church Westlands. The program rescues, rehabilitates, and reintegrates street children from informal settlements like Kangemi, Kibagare (Mishegwe), and Kawangware. Children receive food, education, mentorship, and emotional and spiritual guidance to help them rebuild their lives.
“Every contribution during this dinner will help feed, educate, and empower a child to start a new chapter in life. Our goal is to transform not just individual lives, but entire generations,” added Mr. Muraguri.
