My Drive in Life

Mentor, Soccer Coach, Youth Advocate, Photographer, Web Designer, Social Media Expert and Tutor. 

My name is Wilson Masaka, I’m a youth facilitator and social entrepreneur with a background in ICT, creative entrepreneurship, graphic design and community engagement. I have more than 10 years’ experience working with youth lead organizations in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania as a project manager, coordinator and trainer respectively.

My vision is to train more than 500 youth per year from marginalized communities in 21st century skills for example in problem solving, creativity, adaptability, technology, financial literacy, communication etc. The expected impact would be a more informed youth who will spark positive chain of events in different spheres of life using their talents and skills.

 In 2011 I founder Wilsen Initiative (www.wilseninitiative.wordpress.com) as a result of my passion in serving the youth in finding solutions towards decent work, poverty alleviation and lifelong learning. I'm a champion of UN- Sustainable Development Goal 1, 4 and 8 and to achieve my vision and set goals I have also partnered with other youth-led initiatives in conducting different training programs for the youth. I offer training in Web design, graphic design, transformative leadership, blogging, life skill, photography, and personal branding, communication, social media, and community engagement, organization of events, creative entrepreneurship, financial literacy and internet research.

Women Make It Happen – The Entrepreneur the Network

 It was a great pleasure to connect with Mrs. Helder Oduor who was one of my students at NairoBits in the year 2007/08. It’s now 12 years since we met, I was very surprised and honored when she reached out to me on social media with an offer for a free cake that was to be delivered to one of my sessions.

On 2nd February 2020 we had a session at Hope Raisers Initiative in Baba Dogo about how to craft business ideas as creative either as a musician, painter, DJ etc. It was the perfect timing to host Helder as a guest speaker, she shared her journey in business starting with her desire to start a business to the current status. Helder’s journey started as a creative from graphic designer to owning a business in bakery among other ventures.
