I Won Two Awards at the Acquisition International CSR Awards 2026

I'm delighted to share some news: I've been named a winner at the Acquisition International CSR Awards 2026. And not for one title, but two.

• Digital Innovation & Community Impact Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 (Kenya)

• Community Digital Access & Empowerment Excellence Award 2026 – Kenya

You can see the official listing on my Acquisition International winner's page.

As an independent web developer working from Kenya, recognition like this means a great deal. Most of my work happens quietly, behind the scenes, on other people's websites. So it's a special feeling to have that work acknowledged on an international business platform.

About the Acquisition International CSR Awards 2026

Acquisition International is an international monthly digital business magazine, and the flagship brand of AI Global Media. Alongside its publishing, it runs several award programmes recognising businesses and business leaders across the world.

The CSR Awards are the programme focused on corporate social responsibility: recognising businesses and individuals whose work creates a positive impact beyond their own bottom line. Being listed among the 2026 winners places my work alongside organisations from many different industries and countries.

What the Two Awards Recognise

Digital Innovation & Community Impact Entrepreneur of the Year 2026 (Kenya)

This title brings together two things I care about: using modern technology well, and making sure it actually makes a difference for the people who use it. A website isn't impressive just because it uses the latest tools. It's valuable when it helps a business reach customers, helps an organisation communicate its mission, or makes a service easier for people to access.

Community Digital Access & Empowerment Excellence Award 2026 – Kenya

This award speaks to digital access: helping more people and organisations get online and use the web confidently. For many small businesses, schools and non-profits, the barrier isn't a lack of ideas. It's not knowing where to start, how much a website should cost, or who to trust to build and look after it.

Why Digital Access Matters to Me

I've always believed a good website shouldn't only be within reach of big companies with big budgets. A clear, fast, secure website can transform how a small business is found and trusted, and the same is true for community organisations doing important work with limited resources.

That belief shapes how I work:

• Explaining things plainly. I'd rather a client understands their website than depends on me for every small change.

• Building for real-world conditions. Fast-loading, mobile-first sites matter in a country where most people browse on their phones.

• Making sites usable for everyone. Website accessibility means people with disabilities can use a site too, and it usually improves the experience for everyone else as well.

• Supporting organisations with a mission. I build NGO and nonprofit websites and school websites designed to be easy for their teams to manage.

• Sticking around after launch. Ongoing website support keeps a site secure and working long after the launch day.

What I Do

I'm a freelance web developer working remotely with businesses and agencies in Kenya and around the world. My work covers:

• Web design and development on any CMS, including WordPress and Shopify

• eCommerce websites, including M-Pesa integration for Kenyan businesses

• White-label web development for agencies that need a reliable developer behind the scenes

• Website redesigns, speed optimisation and security fixes

• Ongoing support, maintenance, hosting and domain management

This recognition comes shortly after my nomination for Top Digitally Fit Web Designer of the Year 2026, which made 2026 a memorable year for my work.

Thank You

None of this happens alone. Thank you to every client who has trusted me with their website, every agency that has brought me onto its projects, and everyone who has recommended my work to someone else. Thank you also to Acquisition International for the recognition.

Awards are encouraging, but what matters most is the work that comes next. I'll keep building websites that are fast, accessible, secure and genuinely useful to the people and communities they serve.

If you need a website built, fixed or looked after, or you're an agency looking for a dependable developer, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch and let's talk about your project.
