Bidan Mburu: His Kindness Lives On

Turning a tragedy into a purpose—fulfilling Bidan’s dream to uplift children in his beloved Kenya.

Welcome to Our Community

Continuing a Legacy of Hope

The Bidan Mburu Foundation was born from a deep love and a powerful dream. Bidan envisioned a world where every child in his home country of Kenya had the opportunity to thrive, free from the burdens of poverty. Today, we carry that vision forward by focusing on three critical pillars of support.

Education Access

We pay school fees to unlock the door to education, giving children the chance to learn, dream, and build a better future.

School Supplies

We provide the essential tools—notebooks, pens, and backpacks—so students can focus on their studies without worry.

Health Support

We help cover critical medical bills, ensuring children are healthy enough to attend school, play, and just be kids.

The Power of Opportunity

For a student in Kenya, a scholarship is more than just financial aid—it's a gateway to a future filled with promise. It means access to quality education, a safe place to learn, and the tools to break the cycle of poverty.

Every donation, no matter the size, contributes to a story of transformation. You are providing the key that unlocks a child's potential, empowering them to one day uplift their own families and communities.

The Man Behind The Mission

Bidan Mburu: His Kind Heart and a Big Dream

Bidan Mburu was a bright light whose kindness and joy were truly contagious. A vibrant, loving young man, he had an incredible gift for connecting with people, making friends everywhere he went. His life was defined by his deep faith, his passion for music, and his unwavering desire to help others. Though his time was cut tragically short at the age of 22, the impact he made continues to inspire everyone who knew him.

Roots in Kenya and the Love of Family 🇰🇪

Bidan's warm heart was forged in his home country, Kenya. He grew up surrounded by love, particularly from his dedicated aunt, Aunt Nyambura, and these formative years instilled in him deep values of family and community. In 2012, he embarked on a hopeful journey to the United States to be reunited with his mother, Phylis. He embraced his new life with characteristic energy, honoring his Kenyan roots while building a future in America and touching countless lives along the way.

Music and Faith: His Passion and Path 🎵

Music wasn't just a hobby for Bidan—it was his lifeblood. He loved creating Rap and Hip Hop music, blending the rhythms of his Kenyan home with American styles. He also found joy and peace in listening to Gospel and Kenyan music. At the center of his life was his faith; Bidan was a devout follower of Christ who slept with his Bible by his side every night. He believed his success in music would be the tool God gave him to achieve his greatest aspiration: giving back to his home country.

The Dream: Uplifting Kenyan Children

Bidan frequently spoke to his mother, Phylis, about the children in Kenya. He understood that many good families faced immense struggles, and he was determined to use his future success to lift them up. His ambitious dream focused on three critical areas of need:

  • Education Access: Ensuring every child could attend school by covering essential school fees.
  • School Supplies: Providing the necessary tools, like books and pencils, so students could focus fully on learning.
  • Health Support: Helping families cover urgent medical bills to keep children healthy and thriving.

A Bright Future Tragically Cut Short

Bidan's life, so full of music, kindness, and ambitious dreams for others, was tragically and senselessly taken from him on September 16, 2025. He was an innocent bystander, caught in the crossfire of a dispute that had nothing to do with him. At just 22 years old, the gentle soul who so easily brought joy to others was stolen from his family and friends. This profound loss is the catalyst for our mission: to ensure that he keeps impacting lives even after his passing, and that his dream of helping children would not die with him.

A Legacy Realized

Though Bidan's life ended too soon, his story continues through this foundation.

This organization is dedicated to finishing the kind work Bidan dreamed of. By paying a school fee, providing a book, or covering a medical bill, we keep Bidan’s generous spirit alive, transforming tragedy into a powerful force for good.

The Scholar Sponsorship Fund

Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. For many bright, motivated students, the cost of secondary school is an insurmountable barrier. This fund provides comprehensive scholarships that change lives.

  • What it covers: Full tuition, boarding fees, school uniforms, and exam registration costs.
  • Who it helps: High-achieving secondary school students from verifiably low-income families.
  • The Goal: To empower the next generation of leaders, doctors, and innovators in Kenya.

Community Health Aid

A healthy child is a child who can learn. We partner with local clinics to ensure that preventable or treatable illnesses don't keep children out of the classroom or put families into devastating debt.

  • What it covers: Doctor consultation fees, prescription medications, and essential medical supplies for clinics.
  • Who it helps: Children suffering from common but serious illnesses like malaria, typhoid, and infections.
  • The Goal: To remove health as a barrier to education and provide families with peace of mind.

Essential Supplies Initiative

A student cannot succeed without the basic tools for learning. This program equips children with the materials they need to participate fully in their education and feel proud to go to school.

  • What it provides: Backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, mathematical sets, and required textbooks.
  • Who it helps: Primary and secondary students whose families cannot afford these essential items.
  • The Goal: To ensure every child has the tools they need to focus, learn, and succeed in their studies.
