Ben Kijuu The heart behind the Foundation
🎗 In loving memory
“Liver cancer rewrote Ben’s story, but it never took away his will to live.”

Ben faced hepatocellular carcinoma with remarkable courage — embracing each day with gratitude, knowing every sunrise was a gift.

On 16th May 2024, at his first memorial, the Ben Kijuu Foundation was launched. We carry his name so that others facing liver cancer find the guidance, comfort and hope he showed us all.
