Can poetry spark a movement?

In this soul-stirring chapbook, Moses Tai transforms verse into a call for justice, sustainability, and change. Drawing from his Kenyan roots and passion for development, Tai weaves powerful poems that reflect the urgency of poverty reduction and the beauty of empowered communities.

As the founder of African Development Choices (ADC), a UK-based non-profit, Tai believes in a future shaped by the conscious choices of today. His poetry inspires readers to engage with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — and with their own ability to create change.

Inside this book, you will find:

  • Poetry that blends nature, activism, and self-reflection.

  • A deeply personal voice rooted in African heritage.

  • A fresh, poetic lens on global development issues.

Whether you're a lover of poetry, a champion of global justice, or simply someone searching for inspiration, this book invites you to join a journey of purpose and possibility.

Order your copy today — and let poetry move you to act.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Moses Tai is a poet, changemaker, and founder of African Development Choices (ADC), a UK-based non-profit dedicated to reducing poverty through better public finance and community-driven solutions.

Born and raised in Huruma Estate, Eldoret, Kenya during the 1980s, Moses experienced poverty not as theory, but as daily reality. Even as a child, he questioned the systemic failures that denied his community essential services — questions that would later fuel his life’s mission.

After moving to the UK in 2008, Moses encountered public systems that, while imperfect, largely protected dignity. This contrast inspired over a decade of research that culminated in the founding of ADC in 2019. Through grassroots projects, budget literacy programs, and community partnerships, ADC empowers people to co-create solutions, champion social accountability, and restore dignity where it has been denied.

Moses uses poetry not just as art — but as action. His writing channels his lived experience and the hope he sees in resilient communities. He believes poetry can disarm cynicism, awaken empathy, and stir people to justice.

This debut chapbook is more than a literary collection — it’s a personal testament and a strategic provocation. Through metaphor and memory, Moses invites readers to see sustainable development not as policy alone, but as a deeply human pursuit.

    Moses has eloquently described, through his poems, the socioeconomic challenges faced in many parts of the world. Challenges of which many for people living in the Western world, do not exist.
    The poems are insightful and contribute to a wonderful cause of making the world a better place for everyone.
