Comedian and philanthropist Eric Omondi has announced that Kenyans have raised KSh5,665,000 to support 17-year-old Bryson Makokha and his family.
In an update shared on Thursday, November 12, 2026, Eric celebrated the fundraising milestone through his Sisi Kwa Sisi initiative. He praised Kenyans for responding to his appeal and supporting the struggling family.
Kenyans Raise Millions Through Sisi Kwa Sisi
Eric shared an excited video announcing that contributions had reached KSh5.665 million. He thanked supporters for their generosity, using his popular phrase, “Nyinyi ni wale wasee,” to appreciate everyone who contributed.
The fundraiser gained momentum after Bryson’s emotional video went viral on social media. The teenager from Chwele, Bungoma County, was captured crying after struggling to sell bananas. Some potential customers reportedly avoided purchasing his products because they feared his skin condition was contagious.
M-Pesa Account Reaches Transaction Limit
The fundraising response initially overwhelmed the personal M-Pesa number belonging to Bryson’s father, Calistus Makokha Simiyu.
According to Eric, contributions arrived so quickly that the account reached its transaction limit within minutes. The comedian subsequently announced a dedicated payment channel to accommodate additional contributions.
The fundraiser’s reported Paybill details are:
- Paybill number: 522533
- Account number: 9725655
- Account name: Calistus Makokha Simiyu
These details were also published in earlier fundraising coverage. Well-wishers should confirm them through Eric’s official channels before sending money.
What Eric Omondi Plans to Do for Bryson
Through Sisi Kwa Sisi, Eric outlined a four-point plan to improve Bryson’s life and support his family. First, the initiative will facilitate specialised medical treatment to establish the cause of his skin condition.
Second, Eric pledged to support Bryson’s education and help him return to school. He also promised to help the family construct a decent house to improve their living conditions.
Additionally, the initiative plans to establish a stocked business shop to provide the family with a sustainable income.
Eric Thanks Kenyans for Supporting Bryson
The comedian’s latest announcement marks a significant milestone in the fundraising campaign. His initiative has brought together ordinary Kenyans who have contributed towards the teenager’s medical care and family’s future.
Eric previously promised to stand with Bryson and his family throughout their difficult journey. With contributions now reportedly reaching KSh5.665 million, attention turns to implementing the promised projects and ensuring the family benefits from the support.
