A family in Kiambu County is grieving the loss of Kepha Ngugi, who died in Dubai just three months after moving there for work.
The 34-year-old father of three left Kenya late last year, hoping to make a brighter future for his wife and kids.
Ngugi, a well-regarded member of Witeithie Estate in Juja, was known as a hard worker who cared deeply about his family. His sudden death has shocked his loved ones.
The situation is even tougher because of the difficulties in bringing his body home. Ngugi’s family is now trying to get him back to Kenya for his funeral.
They’re asking for help from friends, family, and anyone else who can lend a hand with the costs of transportation and the funeral.
In a statement, the family shared their grief, saying they are trying to make sure he gets a dignified farewell. They are requesting assistance with repatriation and funeral expenses.
The community has come together to support the family, offering sympathy and helping to raise funds. Ngugi’s death shows the dangers Kenyans face when they go abroad for work, often leaving their families.
As the family copes, they are asking Kenyans both at home and abroad to stand with them, so Kepha Ngugi can have a proper goodbye surrounded by those who loved him.
Kepha Ngugi’s story, starting with such hope, ended too early, far from home. His loss deeply affects his wife, kids, and everyone who believed in him.
The family is trying to bring him home, a situation that shows the silent sacrifices many Kenyan families face when seeking better lives.
Now, friends, family, and anyone willing can help them, offering support and kindness so Ngugi can have a respectful funeral among those he loved.
