Business Network International (BNI), one of Nairobi’s most dynamic business networking communities, will on Friday, 7 November 2025, host an exclusive Financial Literacy Dinner at the Movenpick Hotel, Nairobi.
Themed “Money, Money Everywhere, and Nothing in the Pocket,” the event aims to spark candid conversations around financial literacy, wealth management, and purposeful giving, while raising funds to support the rehabilitation and education of street children through the Kids2Kids programme.
The dinner is inspired by growing concerns over poor financial management among Kenya’s professionals and entrepreneurs. According to the Standard & Poor’s Global Financial Literacy Survey, only 38 percent of Kenyan adults are financially literate, while more than 60 percent of urban middle-income earners have little or no savings.
“Many hardworking professionals know how to make money, but not necessarily how to manage or multiply it,” said Mr Muraguri, BNI Kenya National Director. “Through this dinner, we want to inspire conversations about wealth, purpose, and stewardship, to help people not just earn more, but live and give with intention.”
The event will bring together over 150 guests, including business leaders, financial experts, philanthropists, and C-suite executives from across Kenya’s private sector. The evening will feature a panel discussion on financial literacy and a silent auction to raise funds for Kids2Kids, a ministry under ACK Christ Church Westlands.
Proceeds will go towards rescuing and rehabilitating street children from informal settlements such as Kangemi, Kibagare (Mishegwe), and Kawangware. The programme provides food, education, mentorship, and emotional and spiritual support to help children reintegrate into formal education and society.
“Every contribution during this dinner will help feed, educate, and empower a child to start a new chapter in life. Our goal is to transform not just individual lives, but entire generations,” added Mr Muraguri.
BNI, the world’s largest business referral organisation, has over 300,000 members in more than 70 countries. Guided by its “Givers Gain” philosophy, it fosters collaboration and growth among business leaders worldwide.
The Financial Literacy Dinner promises to be a night of inspiration, connection, and impact, reminding professionals that true prosperity lies not only in financial success but also in meaningful giving.
