Funeral program 

"My mum, The Matriarch of Kanyandahi has retired! She was the kindest, warmest and most generous person I knew! She looked after and cared for everyone who came to our home: the sick, the hungry, the needy, she took care of them all. Her meager resources were never exhausted.

The vigil is right next to Heritage International School! There will be a memorial service at All Saints Cathedral at 10 am on Wednesday (that is tomorrow) and burial in Kanyandahi on Friday!" Mwenda posted on his Facebook Page.
