Wanja Nyarari Meets Bright Atieno, a Woman Saving Lives, and Introduces Her to Kenyatta National Hospital’s Acting CEO Richard Lesiyampe

-




Wanja Nyarari finally met Bright Atieno — a woman whose heart beats for her community and whose daily work quietly saves lives. True to his word, Wanja honored a promise he had made: to introduce Bright to the CEO of A.G. Kenyatta National Hospital, Dr. Richard Lesiyampe. That promise, kept in time, became more than an introduction — it became an intervention.

Bright had been supporting a pregnant woman suffering from complications caused by a cyst. During a follow-up visit, Wanja noticed something alarming: the newborn’s eyes were yellow — a possible sign of jaundice. Without hesitation, action was taken. The baby was admitted immediately and is now receiving specialized care, while the mother was scheduled for surgery later that evening. Swift observation, collective responsibility, and decisive action made all the difference.

"May God continually protect Bright’s health, as she so selflessly protects the lives of others." Said Nyarari 

This moment stands as a reminder that social media should never be a weapon to shame or destroy. Instead, it should uplift, connect, and, when used with purpose, save lives.

 "Our prayers go out for the baby’s full recovery and the mother’s successful surgery. We also take this moment to salute community health champions — the unsung heroes who serve not for recognition, but from the heart."she added 



Bright Atieno, founder of The Hustlers Kitchen 254, is a 39-year-old single mother, a student at Church Army Institute, and a mother to many in Sinai Industrial Area. For the past three years, she has dedicated her life to restoring dignity, hope, and opportunity within her community.

Through her foundation, Bright runs a weekly Saturday feeding program where children not only receive meals, but also a safe space to speak about their challenges. From this initiative, school fees have been paid, essential goods donated, and partnerships formed with parents to develop future-oriented skills for the children.

Her work extends to mentorship programs for young girls, where they are educated on menstrual hygiene and personal safety, and provided with sanitary towels and basic necessities. Women empowerment initiatives offer startup capital to help women begin small businesses and reclaim independence. For the sick and most vulnerable, Bright ensures access to essential medication when no other option exists.

The foundation also runs the “Dress Me Up” initiative, providing needy school-going children with brand new uniforms, alongside crocs donations during school holidays, clothing drives, and food distributions to families in crisis.

For three years, this mission has been sustained by faith, compassion, and the generosity of well-wishers. Bright believes God’s grace has been sufficient from the very beginning.

Today, she extends an open hand to anyone willing to partner in this journey — to grow together as a community and continue spreading love, dignity, and kindness where it is needed most.

Because when compassion meets action, lives are changed — and sometimes, lives are saved.
