Amanda Bahati Kariuki

Thankfulness

VENI VIDI ViCi!

She entered this life on 4th December 2007 as Bahati, meaning “luck” or “lucky one” and was soon christened Amanda, “Gift from God”.

She lived a purposeful life knowing, loving and serving God through her care, support and service to others. She peacefully went back home to be with the Lord, the giver of life, on 23rd February 2024.

In her sojourn here, she encountered many, without whose support and facilitation of all kind, her life would not have been worth the while.

On behalf of Amanda Bahati Kariuki, We, AK Maina, Mary Luiza, Eric and Erica thank you all for enabling her entry, through to her exit, to translate into a meaningful and purposeful life.
