Saying goodbye to Byaruhanga - help with funeral expenses
Byaruhanga passed away on 20 September; we're raising $600 for a respectful funeral in Dodoma.
🇹🇿 Dodoma, TanzaniaPosted Oct 1, 2026402 views
Byaruhanga, my grandfather, passed away on 20 September after a road accident. He was 25 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $600 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 October.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Byaruhanga to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a neighborhood youth program.
Where the $600 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $420
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $100
• Transport of the deceased: $30
• Memorial gathering for the family: $50
Thank you for reading my story.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Kioko?
Thank you. If you're in Dodoma I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck, Kioko. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Stay strong, Kioko. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Take care. Shared this with my family. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Take care, Kioko. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 20 people at work. Blessings
Rooting for you, Kioko. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
