Bring Zack Back Home
Bring Zack Back Home is a fund-raising initiative that aims to raise 250 million Kenyan shillings (approximately US$3 million) to build a spinal injury treatment center in Kenya that can accommodate up to 75,000 spinal injury victims. The name highlights Zack Kimotho, the face of the campaign, who is paralysed from the waist down and has to travel 4000 kilometers to South Africa on a wheelchair because it contains the nearest spinal treatment center. This initiative was launched by the local charity Kenyan Paraplegic Organization (KPO) which works to help people living with serious spinal cord injuries in Kenya. The initiative is backed by Safaricom Limited together with the mainstream media among other stakeholders.
==Early life of Zack==
Zackary Kimotho was born in 1968 in Kigumo division of Murang'a District. He attended Karinga primary school. He attended Nyeri High School for his Ordinary level education until 1988. He later joined Nakuru high school in the same year for his Advanced level education. As it was required by law, he joined the National Youth Service in June 1988 to serve the community before he could proceed to university. In January 4, 1994, Zack graduated from the University of Nairobi having attained a Bachelor's degree in veterinary medicine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bringzackbackhome.com/ )〕
