• A Kenyan social media influencer posted a widely shared video that highlights the inspiring life of Isaya Yunge, a Tanzanian who is betrothed to Charlene Ruto.
• The narrator emphasized how Yunge transitioned between foster homes, tended livestock for others, and resided with homeless children before changing his life via involvement in community service.
• Yunge himself noticed the video and entered the comments with a reply that has intensified the already lively online discussion.

A video detailing the remarkable story of Isaya Yunge, a Tanzanian man who recently wed a daughter of Kenya’s President William Ruto, has become widely shared online, with Yunge himself responding to the comments made.

Shot in a first-person, handheld style on a dirt path outside, Kelly Inspiration begins by sharing what he saw at the wedding.

What did the Kenyan mention regarding Isaya Yunge?

He mentioned that Yunge’s demeanor around the president, greeting him with assurance and holding the president’s daughter without any hesitation, piqued his interest.

“It was clear that she was confident in her decision,” the narrator remarked, noting that he had first thought Yunge must have belonged to a wealthy or noble family.

What Kelly discovered while studying Yunge was nothing like a comfortable childhood. His parents divorced when he was young, forcing him to live with various foster families.

While his classmates were attending school, Yunge was tending livestock for others. He eventually found himself among street children and later came back to the same community to teach them English and fundamental math.

His efforts on behalf of street children attracted the attention of a local radio station, which provided him with a medium to let them express their stories.

That initiative drew the interest of UNICEF, which named him an ambassador. An invitation to the G8 Youth Conference came next, an event that completely changed his viewpoint.

Flanked by young individuals from various parts of the globe who had obtained funding to participate, he started questioning why African youth had limited access to such chances.

This question ultimately led him to create the Summa app, a tech platform aimed at linking African youth with scholarship and conference opportunities worldwide. According to the narrator, it is this effort that earned Yunge recognition, rather than personal wealth or connections.

“Isaiah was not recognized for what he gained for himself. He was recognized due to what he helped others gain,” the narrator stated in the video.

Yunge encountered the post and remained quiet. In the comments, he wrote:

Thank you, sir. There is a great deal of wisdom in your story, and I endorse this message.

Audience members overwhelmed the comment section with their personal responses:

Hey, in short, he’s from Tanzania.
