The year was 2015. A university student with a recurring brain tumour, Emmanuel Otieno aka Jadudi, reached out to Zawadi Nyong’o when he was preparing to go to India for his second brain surgery. Through the Africa Cancer Foundation platform, and with the help of blogger Jackson Biko, Zawadi launched the ‘1MilliForJadudi’ campaign to raise funds for Jadudi.
The campaign brought Kenyans together and more than Sh7 million was raised. Everything went well until someone questioned where the funds were.
