We thrive by pointing others towards their own greatness
About
Born for Greatness was founded by Hawi James Ouma after years of personal struggle. After dropping out of school in two attempts in 2003, he came to Nairobi. In 2005, Hawi got arrested and stayed at the police station for 8 days.
While there, he discovered the power of focusing on the treasure within instead of amplifying trouble and life issues. Not only did this help him in finding a job as Children’s TV Producer in 2008, it helped him to find his life purpose.
