The family of the late Edward Carrey Kwach is appealing to the public for financial assistance to settle medical bills and funeral expenses amounting to KSh 4.2 million. Kwach, a beloved figure in Kenya’s radio industry, passed away recently, leaving a lasting legacy in the broadcasting world. His dynamic presence and distinctive voice endeared him to many listeners across the country, making him one of the most recognized personalities on Kenyan radio.
Kwach’s passing has placed a heavy financial burden on his family, who are now struggling to clear the outstanding hospital bills and arrange for a dignified send-off. A close associate of the family explained that the costs have become overwhelming, prompting them to reach out for support from the community that Kwach served so passionately throughout his career.
The appeal for assistance is directed to fans, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers who wish to honor his memory by helping his family through this challenging period.

His family hopes that the same community that admired and supported him during his career will now rally behind them to ensure that he is laid to rest with the honor he deserves.
Details of the upcoming fundraiser, including how and when people can contribute, are expected to be announced in due course. In the meantime, the family remains grateful for the support they have received and hopeful that continued generosity will help them meet their goal.
Edward Kwach’s life and legacy serve as a reminder of the power of voice and connection, and his memory will live on in the hearts of many Kenyans.
