Kenyan activist Morara Kebaso has taken a unique approach to finance his activism by selling custom-designed shirts for KSh2,500 each.
Known for his passionate advocacy on social justice issues, Kebaso is now merging fashion and activism to raise funds for his campaigns.
Kebaso, who has been vocal on various political and social matters in the country, explained that the sales will directly support his work, including organizing protests, creating awareness, and pushing for policy reforms.
“The INJECT sweatshirts are here. Ksh 2500 per piece. You can pre-order yours by sending the purchase amount to 0708985611. Forward the MPESA message to WhatsApp on the same number. Tell us your size and location for delivery.”
The sweatshirts are stitched and branded locally, here in Kenya. They are kenyan by all standards. The quality is superb that is why it costs 2500. Pure cotton. UNISEX for both male and female,” he announced on X.
The shirts, which reflect themes of activism, freedom, and empowerment, are meant to not only raise funds but also spread his message to a wider audience.
With the increasing costs of mobilizing and sustaining grassroots activism, Kebaso’s shirt sales aim to make his efforts more sustainable.
“Activism requires resources,” he noted, emphasizing the financial strains involved in creating impactful change.
“This will be our resource mobilization strategy for the movement and its activities. All the money will go towards building a stronger movement and funding activities such as public interest court cases, civic education campaigns, medical aid camps etc.” he noted.

@bertlet_mc: Mimi nimetuma pesa yangu already. But i long for a country where volunteers will do things out of goodwill without putting mwananchi on the line
@africansoul8: Bro stop explaining yourself we will send the money either way
@_KenyanGooner: Sending money safaricom also stealing from us in the name of transaction charges…. we need to find a way
@Oliat_: This is the way to raise money for the party. It’s better than mchango every time. You’re doing alright. I propose you lower the price a bit or include a cap and make it a package that includes the buyer registering as a member of the party(optional)
@lipundaKE: Thank you for making it easy for police and DCI to identify and arrest anti-government Kenyans. It is not campaign time so I beseech all of you to stop wearing such paraphernalia to create an anti-government narrative. You will be arrested.
@HonnjugunaM: Slowly slowly you’re loosing both focus and confidence of your followers.
These days you only go out for vampire diaries once in a blue moon yet it’s the main mission.
You need to be honest with Kenyans and tell them that your sources of information are no longer available.
@dr_kihato: Selling hope to Kenyans is indeed a lucrative business.
@slmshady21: What is this now, bwana, just tell Kenyans that you are after money.
just visit Raila odinga and get what you are after, doesn’t matter where it comes from 😜 💰
