Bantu Mwaura Children Fund

Five months ago, I mourned the tragic death of Bantu Mwaura, friend, brother, and truth-teller.

He left a wife, Susan, and two daughters, Makeba, aged seven, and five-year-old MeKatilili. The first time I met Bantu, he whipped out his cellphone to show me their photos. When he told me their names, I teased him:

No pressure there, huh? No burdens of history on two gorgeous children?


Bantu's family and friends have now set up an education fund for his daughters. Bantu was passionate about learning, as a scholar and teacher. This fund is a way to support his children on their educational journey, and honor the memory and legacy of our friend.

This account will be drawn only thrice a year, exclusively to pay for the children’s school fees. Please circulate this information to others who knew and valued Bantu.

Checks, transfers or deposits should be directed to:

Account Name: THE BANTU MWAURA C. E. FUND
Account number: 0151306093400
Bank: Standard Chartered Bank, Moi Avenue, Nairobi, Kenya

For quick assistance at the bank ask for:
