A Kenyan diaspora women caucus based in the US by the name Kenya Women Living in the US (KWITU) has so far raised over $14,000 for a Kenyan woman who was reportedly abandoned in Kenya along with her three children by her husband.
After Susan Mwangi, who lives in the US together with husband opened up on how the husband, James Wairegi abandoned her and her three children without money to return to the US without their knowledge, the caucus took up to help the woman and her children return to the US. They organized a fundraiser for one of their own.
The diaspora family is said to have traveled Kenya for their own private business, including dowry paying for Susan but Wairegi returned to the US before the scheduled time under unclear circumstances, without informing his wife.
Wairegi reportedly withheld their travel documents before heading back to the US, leaving them stranded in Kenya. He however, denied the claims, accusing the wife of slander.
In distress, Susan informed her trusted group of women, in one vibrant closed Facebook group - Kenyan Women in the USA (KWITU). The ladies decided to fund-raise on GoFundMe, with an aim of raising $10,000 to help the woman and her children travel back to the US.
The story elicited mixed reactions, with many people demanding to hear the other side of the story before contributing towards the cause; others referred it to a scam, but these KWITU ladies were undeterred to help a fellow woman.
”If it turns out that the woman lied, there are many charities that we can channel the funds to, but we are not taking chances,” said one lady in a Facebook comment.
In a span of 72 hours of the campaign, the group has been able to raise over $14,000, surpassing their target by 40% …and counting!. The list of donors shows about 99% women.
KWITU describes itself as an organization whose vision includes bridging the gap that exists between Kenyan women living in America, Canada, and Kenya.
KWITU is holding a Grand Reunion from Thursday 3rd August to Saturday 5th August at the Hilton Hotel in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

The man is an asshole he returned her car to the dealership and terminated the lease so the lady is to start a fresh. The marriage should end.
@Mkenya "He's an @hole" everybody got one! And its stinks! That said they were never married she was duping him into marriage and he played along but she got played now she's mad and has everyone believing her.. nî mbeca... Chapaa tu!
Something GOOD about What James Wairegi did to his wife: He did it at the time "KWITU Grand Reunion 2017: August 3rd to 5th in Gaithersburg, Maryland" was taking place. Good TIMING; it Boosted the Fundraiser; and You Can't Beat it.
Girl Power...
If this not a hoax, that dude is fucked
Pita. Watch your Semantics.
No hoax, and the greatest beneficiary is .........Mr Wairegi. In such unions, these kind of men are very clever so let's see who gets the last laugh
Wairegi might find himself somewhere in jail in USA. The money was raised in USA and there so many laws in this country. If he hide the travel documents he will in hot soup.
Wairegi should explain where he took their travel documents. If story is not true refund/return the money to those who donated it.
Heh watu wako na pesa ya kupeana.......:-) or maybe I'm just cautious what causes I consider worth "kupeanaring"
As long as you not funding ISIS, I think it's ok; doesn't matter to who you give. You can channel some my way too, kwa hisani yako
@Mlachake, this is dead wrong 'as long as you are not funding ISIS'. You cannot collect donation for no particular reason. Even those soliciting money on the streets sometimes they are giving tickets by the police if they go to the wrong streets/roads
@Mlachake, - give me your best elevator pitch on why I should channel some on your way, but the last time I remember you said you own some profitable biashara ? Well I could buy shares kwako - same thing:-) .....
Hehehehe please make sure u raise 40billion $$ to take care of herself n kids for their entire lives juu hata akifika majuu n u have only raised 20k or so life ni ile ile.she will continue to struggle big time with the kids alone.If this kwitu was a sensible ngo they r supposed to help bring the kids n then counsel the dude too if he did anything wrong,try to bring them together by listening to both sides what went wrong but it seems this kwitu don't believe in family???If this kwitu is full of Christians who believe in white man religion then they need to bring them together as one.Trust me the dude will b happy paying child support for his two kids n he has peace of mind in his life.Can this kwitu helps the many broken Kenyans families in USA???Ama what do they deal with??
He should lawyer up. First thing is she wasn't kidnapped or forced on a plane.Secondly She left willingly and he did not imprison her or wrongfully confine her in Kenya.Thirdly She wasn't his wife,she was tricking him but he's up one on her. Fourthly he cannot be coerced into giving his consent by KWITU,they are not an aggrieved party, Fifth, this happened on foreign soil not in the US so it's Kenya's responsibility to handle the investigation.The US cannot arrest him on child neglect, Sixth all she needs to do if she's a US citizen is go to the embassy and they'll put her and the kids in a 5 star hotel and then fly them home(US)
Lakini sifikiri she's a citizen just using her kids as a pawn she's "terrified" of Kenya during elections kwani wewe si mkenya? Hao wako huko sio watu? Hawana watoto?
She seems to have a sense of entitlement.
US deports mothers and fathers and leave the children here. Wacha ujanja.Utarudi huku baada ya miaka kumi.Tulia kula ndizi.
He should sue her for defamation of character and file for harassment against KWITU as well as cease and deccist. Wanaume wenzangu these are the kenyan women nowadays. I'm glad I never married one.
Weuwe, hio ni kali but just one thing , I wish you wouldn't group all of us in one pile just to be fair
@FG2 I do apologize you're one in a million! You have a head on your shoulders. I read your comments.Lakini hao wegine...!
KijiMzee. I Agree with you. FG2's is very Short and Precise (in her comments).
You are a bitter man.
He's not her husband, they had just gotten engaged the customary way( rûracio) He just called off the engagement.She's a baby mama.The US has laws but this happened in Kenya! Hello anybody home? The US has lawyers too! Mr Wairegi get a lawyer and let him handle everything. All men look up MGTOW.. F all this BS. You're better off MGTOW!!!
Kenyan men listen up MGTOW IS THE WAY TO GO!!! Drama free life!! MGTOW! MGTOW! MGTOW!!
Says "kijana mzee", very telling. I hope she gets back to the US and sues the damn deadbeat father for child support. If the story is true, the guy should take of his family/kids, and just abandon them in Kenya to come live your-so-called "drama free life".
I think the headline should be "WOMAN WHO TRICKED MAN INTO GETTING HER PREGNANT THREE TIMES GETS TRICKED ONCE!"
SMH "Ms Susan "MWANGI" and not "MRS SUSAN WAIREGI" I guess she's after the wrong man. Aka mtafute MR MWANGI, wachana na MR JAMES WAIREGI. ILIKUWA NI MCHEZO WA NGONO TU😜!
Kijana mzee I conquer with you 100%.U have spoken like maumau men.I don't like the way women rights r more hyped by this so called women organisations???But bro nothing wrong with Kenyan women thou I think they r the best woman around but the problem with them is they let the shetani fetes into them wakifika mayuuu not knowing they r finishing their family especially the hasi??U treat the man right he will treat u like a queen but ukianza uvichwa juu uko na nursing money u will suffer yrself alone juu jamaa akielevuka atakutoka mbaya mbaya.N for the men if yr wife respects n is there for yoo please treat her so too.
In this days, Women Organizations are Used by Women to Hon/Incubate what I call WANGU-wa-MAKERISM: Domination of Men. So no wonder we are talking about the Couple's Kids (the only way to Humble and Put Women to Where They Naturally Belong). And "Andu a Nyumba Know the History of WANGU-wa-Makerism better.
Ni kama drama
AHEM😯 Two of her THREE kids are US citizens...mmm😕😕😕 Huyo mwingine ni wa wapi? Babake nani? I guess this isn't her first rodeo💃🐎
Kijana mzee you sound like a man who was scorned.Eish why will the man not come out and explain the true story.As for the woman does she not have family in Kenya who can contribute to her upkeep instead of fighting over furniture in a rented house with her sister in law.
@LWAK,I'm not scorned, I WAS ALMOST SCORCHED!!!. When I see my neighbors house on fire I will shout and scream 😱🔥 FIRE!! Not casually say" Hey jirani your house is getting a little warm😅😉". With that being said, why is it you picked me out as being scorned and not KWITU or all the other women who've lashed out at Mr Wairegi?? Aren't they scorned too?? I guess I kept it real.The truth is an offense but not a sin.
@LWAK Mr Wairegi owes no one else BUT HIS TWO out of THREE kids an explanation.They are his blood and not you,I or Susan Mwangi their mother NOT his wife. It's this thing of you have to explain yourself and apologize to the world court of public opinion mentality that has some men emasculated.
Whatever the legal system will seek to address or redress... the one very deep pain/wound it will never fix, is the hurt and embassment the children's grand parents must be going through.
Just a few days ago, they are so happy giving and receiving dowry with all the pomp that goes with such ceremonies while in the company of close relatives and friends.
To crown it all, they were visited by their grand children in Kenya probably for the very first time. You can just imagine the pride and joy the grand parents had in their hearts.
Those with children know how their parents get elated when they take the kids to shaggs.
Then all this joy is slammed to the wall and in a very internationally public way.
You can imagine how frantically they must be trying to solve this situation, while not even understanding where it came from, where it is, and where it will end up.
Most probably, each set of parents are talking to their son in the US and the stranded daughter, respectively, asking over and over again...
niki, nikii kiuru?
while their old hearts bleed profusely for their innocent grandchildren.
What lawsuit, legal system, whatever can come anywhere near close to healing these granny and granpa's hearts and minds?
What happens to the Dowry? Will it be returned?
The "Uthoni" (in-law relations in Kikyuy) has been messed up irrevocably as other things fall apart.
Hind sight is 20:20.... might there have been a better approach to handling this problem?
There are many couples, both here and in the diaspora, who may be going through varying degrees of "Stuff" and may learn from this case "How to and how not to solve a family problem.
Family and marriage counsellors, kazi kwenyu...
@Mkenya similar situation..I woke up early in the morning to take my toddlers to school and a car was missing and I took off like lightning to another city and county by bus and train. I had no job,car or chums but with my resilience, motivation from my kids, overcoming attitude, other positive attributes and after 8mths to a year we are good and peaceful tahnks be to faith, hardwork and prayers. It is so unfortunate that the lady is in Kenya suffering coz of a man who abandoned his kids and the mother who gave birth to those kids. It is just so inhumane of how some african men are behaving.
Eh okay Miss Dee but can you also tell us what was your contribution to your ex treating you that way? I'm sure there are two sides to the story...
OMG! I might know her, she lived in MD for less then han a year then they moved to Texas. Her husband(never met him) was a truck driver.
Kijana mzee, you sound very bitter.
Oh yes @formerlyguest2 he was running around with other women in pretense of "work" while I was always taking care of the kids as a dedicated stay at home mom and I refused to be a doormat or a sex object. In addition am not the first and the last........
Wow!Wow!!Wow!!!. According to @MAXILEY (on Wed,08/02/17 - 19:40), he was Right; right on the money. And James Wairegi could soon be "Laughing All the Way to the Bank" if they "reconcile".
