Having lived with visual impairment since birth, Samson has not been deterred by any physical or attitudinal barriers in championing for inclusion not only for himself but many persons with disabilities who came into contact with him. He strongly believes that, it is only by empathy and not sympathy in making the world a better place for persons with disabilities.

Mr. Waweru is an elected member of the CBR African Network International Advisory Board (IAB), representing the voices of youth with disabilities in Africa. He also represents persons with disabilities in key ecumenical institutions including: an executive member of the National Council of Churches of Kenya and a commissioner of the Health and Healing commission of the World Council of Churches based in Geneva Switzerland.

He is a believer of positive transformation of the lives of all through a culture of nurturing proactive engagements as a sustainable means of cultivating empathy in addressing issues of persons with disabilities.
