It was the afternoon of Kenya’s biggest football derby between Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards but many Kenyans from many fields including corporates, the arts and civil society all headed out to the Santa Fe Restaurant in The Mall in Westlands, Nairobi. They were all here to support live music performer Dan Aceda who was launching his charitable initiative. Dan Aceda is a highly rated singer with two albums to his name; Suluwa (2005) and Benganology (2011) and often goes by the name “the crown prince of Benga.” The crown prince was introducing his philanthropic initiative the Mabawa (wings) Project.
Dan has a single Mabawa specifically recorded for the project and the proceeds from its sale will go towards giving children toys and books; giving them the wings to fly in life. The project is supported by Goode Communications and Akiba Uhaki Foundation who will ensure that the people who are supposed to benefit from the project do. The beneficiaries of the project are pupils of Muongoiya Primary School in Muchatha village, Kiambu County.
