A powerful moment of generosity unfolded at a thanksgiving service at JCM Church, where Bishop Muthee Kiengei led an emotional fundraiser in support of TikToker Kaluma Boy’s family. Thousands of attendees came together to uplift the young creator’s family, raising over KSh 2 million during the service.
The emotional highlight came when Kameme FM gospel artist Baby Top donated KSh 200,000 to help establish a shop for Kaluma Boy’s mother. The announcement sparked cheers from the congregation and quickly went viral, earning nationwide praise for the act of compassion.
Kaluma Boy’s Story Inspires National Support
The fundraiser followed a visit by a group of TikTokers to Kaluma’s home in Othaya, where he has been documenting his journey caring for his father, who suffered a stroke over a year ago. His videos, filled with hope and resilience, captured the hearts of many, prompting widespread support from local and international well-wishers.
During the service, Bishop Kiengei highlighted the importance of community and compassion, saying:
“When we come together as a community, we can restore hope and dignity to families who need it most.”
Long-Term Projects to Empower the Family
In addition to immediate fundraising, Kiengei announced several initiatives aimed at empowering Kaluma Boy’s family:
- Land for a New Home: A one-acre parcel in Chaka will be used to build a new family home.
- Business Ventures: Plans to establish a shop and posho mill for Kaluma’s mother to provide financial independence. Church leadership has already begun identifying suitable locations for the business.
These projects aim to provide both stability and long-term sustainability for the family, ensuring that support extends beyond one-time donations.
Widespread Praise from Kenyans
The fundraiser and Baby Top’s generous contribution sparked a wave of admiration online. Social media users lauded the initiative as a powerful example of unity, faith, and compassion, highlighting both Bishop Kiengei’s leadership and the community’s collective effort.
