I have known Claire Ikalur for some time now and have been following her career through Kenyan media. Recently I have really been impressed with the stunts Claire has been pulling with her company Claire Consulting and Marketing (an original name for her company no?). When any sponsorship has been raised from sports like swimming, tennis and more, the unseen hand of Claire has been at work. Claire Consulting is holding a Social Tennis Event next Sato (29 th April) and a media pool challenge at the Crooked Q's on the Sunday (30 th April) afternoon. Its looks to be an action packed weekend and y'all should check it out.

You'd be dancing too if you knew what Claire was upto

The main reason for this post has a lot to do with her non-sporting venture though. March's edition of Business in Africa (East African Edition) has a story about a new program to nurture young Kenyan students to become investors being started. The venture called Smart Wealthy Youth will target high schools and help make investors of a targeted 100,000 youth aged between 12 and 21.

The people who are fuelling this pioneering new program are Smart Capital CEO Catherine Gitonga and yes... Claire Consulting and Marketing CEO Claire Ikalur. Way to go girl! Now that is what I call ambitious. Looking to influence ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND young minds. Yaani even the Breweries foundation has apparently only given water to 100,000 pals (it said so on that billboard of theirs on Jogoo Road they changed recently). And here are two young people with determination to make that contribution by the brewers look like some much hogwash.

Do I wish Smart Wealthy Youth all the best? Hell yeah! All I have is beef for this concept. Where were they when I was in high school and needed their guidance? These are the things that make me so jealous of guys in high school nowadays. They have they own magazine the Insyder with its awards, they have Kapuka and now they have Smart Wealthy Youth! Ah well. At least I can always buy a Tusker in peace at Hooters.
