Dennis Ombachi Leads The Way In TikTok’s New Change Makers Initiative

TikTok has unveiled its TikTok Change Makers Program, a pioneering global initiative aimed at recognizing and supporting creators and non-profits that drive significant social impact through the platform.

The six-month program is structured to help selected creators from around the world build engaged communities, reach new audiences, and unlock real-world opportunities. Participants will gain access to specialized tools, resources, and donations for their designated non-profit organizations.

A key component of this initiative is the TikTok Change Makers Grant, which will distribute over $1 million to more than 30 global and local non-profits. Each of the selected Change Makers will receive a $25,000 donation to support their advocacy work, amplifying their ability to make a difference.

One standout in this inaugural group of 50 global Change Makers is Kenya’s Dennis Ombachi, known on TikTok as @theroamingchef. Dennis has become a beloved figure on the platform, using his culinary talents to feed those in need across Nairobi.

Dennis’s selection as a Change Maker underscores TikTok’s commitment to uplifting diverse voices and addressing global issues through local actions. As one of four African creators chosen for the program, Dennis’s story exemplifies the profound impact individuals can have when supported by a platform like TikTok.

This initiative highlights TikTok’s dedication to fostering a global community committed to positive change and showcases the transformative power of individual actions in inspiring widespread community support.
