For over 8 months, Sophie Ikenye – a beloved daughter of Kenya, respected journalist, and one of our finest storytellers – has been battling illness and undergoing treatment across various medical facilities. Many of us remember her as the graceful voice and face that graced our screens before rising to become a global icon with BBC. Now, she needs us.

Her family has done everything possible to support her medical care, but they have now exhausted all available funds. They are calling on you – family, friends, fans, fellow Kenyans, Africans, the World and well-wishers – to help raise Ksh 5 million ( about US $ 40,000) to facilitate an urgent surgery and continued treatment.

This is the moment for us to embody the true Kenyan spirit – the spirit of Harambee, the spirit of Ubuntu, the spirit of standing together in times of need. Whether it's your 100 bob, 1,000, or more – every coin, every effort counts. We have done it for many. We can do it again. No donation is ever too small. No act of kindness is ever wasted.

πŸ’š Paybill Number: 8060995 🟒 Account Name: Your Name πŸ“ Name: Sophie Ikenye Medical Appeal

Let’s share this widely and give from our hearts. Let’s show the world that Kenyans never leave one of their own behind.

Together, we rise. Together, we heal. Thank you for standing with Sophie.
