Bahati Opens Up About Encounter With Street Children, Promises Long-Term Support
Bahati has opened up about an unexpected encounter with a group of street children, revealing that the experience moved him to offer more than just a one-time act of kindness.
The singer said he met the children shortly after filming a new episode of his Bahati Cares initiative, where he had been supporting a woman identified as Ivy. While driving home, he noticed the children following his vehicle and decided to stop and find out more about their situation.
Before sharing the details of the encounter, Bahati jokingly mentioned his wife, Diana B, in a light-hearted comment.
“Someone tell Diana B I said sorry; Range Rover yake imejionea mambo,” he said.
The remark suggested that the family vehicle had gone through an unexpected experience during the encounter.
Stopping to Make a Difference

“First thing niliwapeleka tukapimishe mali walikua wamebeba.”
The musician said the moment was not only about offering immediate help but also learning more about their lives and needs.
Planning Long-Term Support
Bahati revealed that he went further by collecting contact details of the children’s guardians so he could continue following up after the encounter.
He said he wants to explore ways of helping them leave life on the streets while also supporting their education.
“I took their guardians’ contact details, and I will be following up this week,” he shared.
“I will be following up this week to see how I can support them to get off the streets as well as their education.”
Continuing the Bahati Cares Initiative
