A sister needs help - Help bury Wacuka's dad

I met Phyllis Wacuka Munene for the very first time in 2007, during an interview for bright female students who would later on be sponsored for Engineering courses by the Government of Kenya through the National Industrial Training Council.

Phyllis and I were part of the 7 lucky beneficiaries sent to The Eldoret Polytechnic, where I studied Civil Engineering and she, Mechanical Engineering, plant division. Being in a completely new town and for the very first time in our lives saw to it that we stayed closely knit together as friends and more of a family.


Our graduation day in 2010


Today Wacuka is one very sad lady. She lost her dad who was the sole bread winner, only remaining parent and best friend to her. She celebrates the moments they shared during his time on earth and how he was dedicated to raising his kids (Wacuka and her younger brother). What breaks her is the fact that her desire to lay the remains of her dad to rest are far from a dream at the moment.

Phyllis, her late dad Mr. Munene and her younger brother.

Mr. Patrick Munene Ngugi was admitted at the Mediheal Hospital and Fertility Centre on 19th June 2015. He later succumbed to his illness on 17th July 2015, leaving behind a medical bill of KES 2,121,435.00. For this reason, the body is being held at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary until the hospital bill is settled.

Phyllis Wacuka, whom the whole extended family is looking up to is currently a student at the Moi University, Chepkoilel campus. She is broken, and does not know what to do with the situation. I would be devastated in her position. There are times in life where you feel like you have reached the end of the road and nothing has any meaning. This is where our friend and sister is at this moment. two million shillings is a huge amount of money... but not when you and I decide to do something. The 50 shillings you have just lying in your Mpesa account could make a big difference. The 2,000 bob, 4,000, 10,000, whatever it is could help the situation a long way. 

The late, Mr. Munene

We are currently in the process of creating a Paybill number for the same course and it shall be availed to you as soon as possible.

Meanwhile what you can do is just share this story, spread the word far and wide. Go ahead and like the Facebook Page to stay abreast of all developments. Spread word kindly. She is our friend and sister and we can't let her carry this cross alone.

Kusoma Tu Trust - What you need to know

I first learnt of  Kusoma Tu Trust  while working at  Haba Haba . We had just launched this amazing learning and revision application -  Revision844  and were looking to work with various schools to test the app. The fact that the Kusoma Tu had piloted in a primary school that I had attended got me really excited and I wanted to know even more about it. A briefing during a visit to Kawangware Primary school. With the Habahaba.co team. Have you ever pictured yourself being in a situation where it's just a few months to your final exams yet you do not even know how to write your own name? Not being able to read simple 3 lettered words? How then would you be able to read questions, understand them and provide answers in the so called National (final) exam? What value will you have gotten out of primary school with? Some of the advanced readers. It was a joy going through passages together Well, as unbelievable as it may sound, there are kids who go through scho

'FOCUS' INTERVIEW: Trizah's fitness journey

I have known Trizah for quite some time now. She has been a source of encouragement at a personal level as I have loved all the values she stands for. Trizah is firm and sweet at the same time. Her determination through her fitness journey is something that won't go unnoticed. I have been wondering how she has been able to follow through, religiously for years. To kick us off on our FOCUS series, she shares how it has been ever since she started. I have known you for close to 5 years now. If I were to describe you I would have my own adjectives..very many at that considering how much of a pillar you have been in my life ever since our paths crossed. Today I would like you to tell us about Trizah. Who is Trizah? Trizah is a Christian, a mother of two boys aged 6(turning 7 in June) and 3(turning 4 in April),a wife, a sister and a friend. Am extremely loyal to my friends and am too kind often... I hurt when people take that for granted but hey it’s life!! I live one
