Meet Geoffrey

Geoffrey Soyiantet, a native of Kenya, is the founder of Vitendo 4 Africa, a nonprofit organization that helps African immigrants connect and adapt in their new home in Missouri. Vitendo is a Swahili word that means “action.” One of the many programs offered by Vitendo4Africa is the New Look Bikers Club. Geoffrey leads group rides on the Katy Trail and greenways across the region:

“Our biking club connects people from different nationalities. You may think you have nothing in common but once you are out riding a bike together, you get to know each other and find out you have a lot of things in common. It’s also important to spend time outside and be healthy. When we ride, we see different views of natural areas. Many of us grew up along forests, and the greenways and trails give us good memories of where we came from. They also let us experience different scenery and views of where we live now.”
