“Oslo believed in me in 2018 before the world did. This wall is for everyone who did the same for Starehe Manor — before the road was finished, before the first cottage was built, before the world could see what I could see. Your name belongs here. 🙏🏾”

The Physical Wall
Every believer at $250 (Early Believer) and above will have their name permanently engraved on a freestanding stone wall in the Starehe Manor garden. Dark local stone render. Brass plates for Co-Builders. Steel for Legends and Founding Guests. Brushed aluminium for Early Believers. The wall will be installed when Jiwa Cottage opens in October 2026. It will stand for as long as Starehe Manor stands.

Every gift — large or small — earns your place here. Permanently.
