Supporters have come together to raise funds for those injured during Tuesday’s demonstrations against the Finance Bill 2024.
M-Changa Africa, under their slogan “Care for the Injured,” has launched an initiative to ensure that the injured receive necessary medical attention.
“Thousands turned out in support of democracy—now let’s ensure those unjustly injured receive medical attention. Join us to ensure this cause succeeds,” M-Changa Africa stated.
The fundraising campaign has seen overwhelming support, with the current total reaching Sh20,605,836 million, far surpassing the initial goal of Sh10,000,000. The initiative has received public support from businesses, medics, lawyers, and ordinary Kenyans.
All donations will be directed to the Defenders Coalition website (https://defenderscoalition.org/), which will disperse funds directly to hospitals and clinics caring for the injured.
Additionally, contributions towards Rex and Evans, two notable figures who have supported the cause, have reached Sh3,024,749, surpassing the target goal of Sh2,000,000. M-Changa Africa urged people to turn up and support their families, stating, “Rex and Evans supported us with everything they had; it’s our turn to support their families. Join us to ensure this cause succeeds.” Funds will be distributed equally to the families.
Kenya was engulfed in chaos on Tuesday as police battled protesters in major towns across the country. Earlier, the Nairobi City County Government reported that at least 12 people were killed during the demonstrations.
