“It’s BIG” is here and Alongside Nonini They are Determined to Woo You to the Last Bone #It’sBig
The “IT”S BIG” campaign has moved to donate Kshs 50000 to pump up Abdi Rashid’s medical kitty . The donation is part of the campaign’s good deeds initiatives being experienced across kenya in build up to Kenya’s biggest launch party to be held at the Nyayo Stadium on July 10th 2015 .
This comes only a week after the campaign moved to support Step by Step cancer cervical cancer campaign. The donation was presented by Nonini a friend of the Itsbig campaign.
Receiving the donation Morris Okoth said “It was encouraging to see how fast Itsbig campaign responded to our call for assistance, we told them about our efforts only in the morning and they already have a cheque ready. Their donation will go towards Abdi’s daily medical needs and his upkeep during his illness. Together with EFC & Sportpesa we will support Abdi by enabling Abdi to provide for his family since he was the sole bread winner selling water to sustain the family.”
Abdi is by every right a Kenyan hero and even though his story has been highlighted in both local and foreign media no one has come out to assist Abdi after having suffered severe injury.
Abdi was hospitalized for a long duration and the government only recently settled his medical bill. Abdi is still in need of medical assistance and has now moved to live in Nairobi staying with his uncle so that he can access medical attention at Kenyatta National Hospital. The medical expenses are high and Abdi cannot meet these and needs out assistance.
EFC will be holding the tournament and hoping to raise funds for a project that Abdi can maintain a living on.
Two people were killed and three others injured when suspected Al-Shabaab militants attacked a bus and a lorry in Mandera last December.
Nonini presents a kshs 50k donation cheque to Morris Okoth CEO at TV Cosmopolitan (TVC).Entertainment with fun for Charity (EFC) has teamed up with Sportspesa,TVC to stage a monthly tournament to raise funds for Abdi Rashid’s medical fund. Abdi is a heroic Kenyan who was injured in a shootout whilst shielding Christians during a shootout in Garissa. Together with his friends Nonini came up with a basket tournament idea dubbed EFC to encourage Kenyans to give back to the community.
