Born and raised in Kenya Wangari Fahari is an accomplished leader whose work spans human rights, climate change, wildlife conservation, and digital, language, and cultural equity. She holds creative and administrative roles in the arts, music, and culture sectors as an artist, music executive, and World Music DEI consultant, while leading DEI and ADA initiatives for the City of Beverly and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

We are thrilled to announce that the Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) has nominated Wangari Fahari for the 2025 Digital Access Champion Award. In less than two years, she has secured over $150,000 in funding for the City of Beverly, expanded digital literacy and access for seniors and limited-English communities, and led programs like “Becoming Digitally Ready” that deliver measurable impact. As SSBI’s new President, Wangari brings vision, expertise, and determination to make digital access a right, not a charity advancing our mission and inspiring the community

Annual Service & Safari Trip 2026
With Rise Kenyan Youth
The Safari with Samantyl Travels was an invigorating and transforming part of the year's visit
Being among so much wildlife, witnessing lions tracking game, bright pink flamingos lifting their delicate wings, elands, gazelles and antelope with curving antlers, and all the delicate shades of reds and browns, is something you can never forget.
