Charity biography

Kenna is an Ethiopian musician who was nominated for a Grammy in 2009.

He helped organize the Summit on the Summit Kilimanjaro climb, which reached the top of Africa’s highest mountain on January 12, 2010. The climb raised money and awareness for the Children’s Safe Drinking Water Program, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and PlayPumps International.

“My dad almost died as a child from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia, and he had talked to me about digging a well there, and I thought, ’I have too many friends who would be concerned with the subject of clean water,” he said. “Maybe I can help out.’”
