A grieving family in Mtongwe has received a major relief after Mombasa Empowerment stepped in to settle an outstanding medical bill for the late Phance Kemunto, a 32-year-old single mother who passed away earlier this week.

The organization cleared the bill at Coast General Hospital, easing the financial burden on the bereaved family during an already difficult time.

Kemunto, described as a hardworking woman, died on Monday, March 26, 2026, in Mtongwe.

The incident was formally reported at the police station under OB Number 22/23/03/2026 at 2330 hours.

She leaves behind two young children, including 12-year-old Amina Said Ali, a pupil at Likoni Primary School, and her younger sibling, Omari Saidi Said Ali.

Speaking on behalf of Mombasa Empowerment, Evans Momanyi expressed condolences to the family and reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to supporting vulnerable members of the community.

"Mombasa Empowerment wishes to inform the public that today we successfully offset the outstanding medical bill for the late Phance Kemunto. This is part of our commitment to stand with families in their time of need,” he said.

He further revealed that beyond settling the hospital bill, he has taken a personal initiative to ensure the children’s future is safeguarded through education support.

"Following this unfortunate loss, I have taken the personal initiative to support and facilitate the education of the children to ensure their future remains secure despite the tragic circumstances,” he added.
