Bragga founded a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) dubbed Vijana Amkeni meaning “Youths Rise Up” in 2016. It aims at the empowerment of young people across the country; politically, socially and economically.
“I saw the need to begin a movement that brings youth together to voice issues and be involved in national affairs. We use social media to mobilise each other,” he said during an interview on Switch TV in 2019.
Bragga also mentors youth on health and mental well-being. The initiative was advised by the statistics of the rising number of suicide cases among the youth in the country.
The NGO also majors on environmental conservation. They have planted over 250,000 trees in various counties in Kenya and aim to plant 47,000,000 trees by 2022.
During the World Environmental Day in early June this year, Bragga along with his team of youths from Vijana Amkeni planted 1,300 trees in Kilifi County.
A lot comes with being the son of a popular and powerful politician, and being a young entrepreneur. He is known to lead a lavish life and has often been spotted cruising around in expensive machines.
Bragga reportedly cruises around town in a Mercedes Benz Maybach, and another Mercedes Benz convertible.
