Trevor Muindi


My name is Trevor Muindi and these is my story. My previous version was so disturbing, whereby, my behavior was so narcissism or lack of accountability or responsibility. Rudeness ruled over my vains whereas disrespect shuttered my sense of love and care towards my colleagues from work together with clients, family and my friends. These behaviors undermined me hugely especially when it came to team motivation or business goals, which bought by a resistance to change in my mindset. I also held with me temper tantrums which occurred in response to unmet needs or desires/frustrations. Not leaving out my unthinkable character, the villain Trevor was dishonest, selfish, unforgiving, unmerciful, wicked, grumpy, obnoxious and malicious. With these adapted character traits, I found myself engaged in doing drugs as well as a threst-hunger for alcoholism influence, which also spoilt my individual reputation in my surrounding community. 
My transformation journey happened and began miraculously, through two stages of individual and organizational transformation. I took key different transformation phrases into consideration whereby I imagined as a future possibility of wellness from violence, diseases and poverty (envision). Then I explored by travelling through unfamiliar areas in order to learn from them; and this os when the Almighty connected me with DFH-RC and Edwin Michieka, who played a guardian angel role to my life in different aspects, whereby I engaged myself with trauma healing sessions (Kumekucha quest) and many more activities and programs offered by the institution which provided a safe supportive space for my healing. I then prepared myself to be ready for good use to the community by having different advocacy training programs which mainly enhanced me to develop resilient-wise. My execution and acceleration of transformation at DFH-RC were fruitful and successful which gave me better plans and strategies to move swiftly and quickly in my healing journey. The key imparatives of my transformation journey at DFH-RC were to do it once, do it right, make it big and holistic, go all in, make it personal and be inclusive, so as to reinvest in the success. My transformation journey at DFH-RC was so important because it affected how I see and relate to the world and how I understand my place in it.
My  achievements ;as a mentor, DFH-RC gave me an opportunity to validate my leadership skills and hone other skills like emotional intelligence, communication and empathy. Through DFH-RC I also increased positive behaviors, reduced risk behaviors and improve concept of at-risk youth in order to help them make healthy choices and reach their full potential. Being a role model to the young blood in my community is also an achievement to me. Being the first youth ambassador, president and secretary-general respectively at DFH-RC is also a great achievement that I'll live to honour, cherish and be proud of.


In the next five years or so, I see myself becoming a prominent youth champion with the skills equipped within me. I also see myself as a focused and determined individual who will have the ability, capability and capacity to create resilient young youths and resilient minds so as to build a resilient community for future generations.

My message to fellow youths."Youths are the torchbearers of the future; so we should steady on our grinds and loose no focus be it the situation, so as to snash all obstacles that come our way. Transformation journeys also start with a critical question or a challenge. So youths should; imagine, discover, inspire and build for a better tomorrow.

The Evidence Is Clear: Let’s Invest in Prevention, Now More Than Ever

As we mark International Day Against Drug Abuse on today, June 26th, 2025, I write this not just as a health professional but as someone who has walked with communities, seen the pain of addiction, and felt the urgency for change. This year’s theme, “ Evidence is clear: Invest in prevention,” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a call to action. I’ve watched brilliant young minds waste away for lack of guidance, support, and opportunity. But I’ve also seen what hope looks like when a youth chooses mentorship over addiction, when a school, church, or community says “no more” and opens space for dialogue—and means it. According to the UNODC, over 296 million people used drugs in 2021—a 23% increase over the previous decade. In Kenya, NACADA reports that 1 in every 5 youth aged 15–24 has used drugs or alcohol. The evidence also tells us that prevention works. Research shows that up to 30% of substance use reduction can be achieved through early intervention—in schools, families, and co...

Empowering Digital Defenders: My Experience at the BAKE Kenya Training on Harmful Speech and Digital Literacy

Recently, I had the privilege of attending a compelling and transformative training hosted by the Bloggers Association of Kenya (BAKE). The sessions opened my eyes to the subtle and dangerous realities of harmful digital content—misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation—and the urgent need for digital responsibility in our communities. Each concept was clearly unpacked:  - Misinformation is false content shared without the intention to deceive.  - Disinformation involves intentionally misleading information, crafted to misguide.  - Malinformation presents facts that are maliciously shared to cause harm—like leaking confidential data with the intent of damaging reputations.  Through impactful case studies, especially in governance and public health, we saw how such content erodes public trust and deepens societal divides. Another key focus was hate speech. We delved into its forms, root causes, and practical solutions, strengthening our understanding o...

Uniting for a Tobacco-Free Kenya: World No Tobacco Day 2025 Celebration

On World No Tobacco Day 2025, a powerful movement took to the streets of Nairobi, rallying for a healthier, tobacco-free future. From the historic City Stadium to Kaloleni Social Hall in Makadara Sub-County, passionate advocates—both young and old—walked together in solidarity, raising awareness about the dangers of tobacco and nicotine products.  This symbolic march was more than a procession—it was a message of advocacy, wellness, and healing. With banners held high and educational posters displayed proudly, participants exposed the deceptive tactics of the tobacco industry and emphasized the importance of taxation as a means to fund public health initiatives. Along Jogoo Road, the energy was infectious, fueled by a live music band that underscored the urgency of the cause, while walkers engaged bystanders in conversations about tobacco control, countering industry misinformation, and educating youth on the critical risks associated with tobacco use. At Kaloleni Social Hall, the ...
