Hearty donation
Just days ago, Obidan had come out to confirm that Kenyans raised Ksh3.7 million during the highly publicised fundraiser held in support of the viral ‘Kwa Mbae’ boy and his family at Kajiunduthi Stadium.
Speaking in a video update on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, Obidan revealed that the funds were collected during the event, which drew large crowds and widespread online participation, with contributions still continuing even after the fundraiser.
“Hello Kenyans, I have seen many people asking how much we were able to raise for ‘Kwa Mbae’ during the fundraiser. Before I tell you, I want you to follow this new account of mine because the other one was reported just days before the fundraiser, and I want this one to grow as well,” he said.
According to Obidan, the money raised will primarily go towards supporting the medical treatment of the boy’s brother, Lewis, who is currently battling cancer. He added that the family still requires continued assistance, not only for healthcare but also to improve their living conditions.
“Despite the challenges, the fundraiser was successful. We were able to raise Ksh3.7 million, and people are still sending in contributions. That money will be used for Kwa Mbae’s brother Lewis, who is suffering from cancer,” he stated.
He explained that plans are underway to help the family secure better housing, including access to electricity and improved amenities, as part of a broader effort to uplift their situation.
Obidan also confirmed that the funds collected were handed over to the parents, urging them to manage the money responsibly and ensure it is used for its intended purpose, particularly in covering medical expenses.
“We have left the money with the parents to manage it, and I urge them to use it well for treatment costs. We are hoping for the best,” he shared.
