Kelvin Bokai Doe (also known as DJ Focus) is the founder of the Kelvin Doe Foundation, a non-profit organization that works with strategic partners; devoted to providing creative spaces to nurture communities, ignite a culture of innovation, and inspire civic engagement.
Kelvin engages with educators, the private sector, government leaders, and leading global visionaries to mobilize and provide resources, mentorship, and tools to advance the impact of experimental and hands-on learning programs, both in Canada and his home country: Sierra Leone. His recent activity includes crowdfunding to set up a makerspace in the Dworzak neighborhood of Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Kelvin has won several international awards on “frugal innovation,” including a presidential Gold Medal. He is also the youngest person to participate in the “Visiting Practitioner's Program” at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Kelvin is a frequent speaker at sci/tech/art and youth empowerment conference(s) and serves on the Honorary and Advisory Board of Emergency USA, an organization with a mission to provide free medical and surgical care to victims of war and poverty.
Kelvin's story is still being written. Frustrated by the difficulties of moving forward with his career in Sierra Leone, he traveled to Toronto, Canada in the hope that he could study engineering and increase his skills so that he can one day return to Africa to help his people.
