Kenyans came together in an extraordinary show of solidarity on Sunday, September 28, 2025, as crowds traveled to Othaya for Kaluma Day, a special event dedicated to supporting Kaluma Boy, the young content creator who went viral for caring for his ailing father.

Kaluma touched millions after emotional videos showed him tenderly looking after his father, who is battling the effects of a stroke.

His story, which first spread across social media, inspired a nationwide movement of compassion that led to the organization of Kaluma Day.

From Nairobi to Nyeri, buses and private cars ferried supporters to Othaya, where crowds gathered to cheer, sing, and stand by the boy and his father.

The atmosphere was emotional and uplifting, with many describing it as a true reflection of Kenya’s unity and humanity.

Videos shared online captured moving scenes of people embracing Kaluma, offering gifts, and chanting words of encouragement.

“This is Kenya at its best,” one supporter wrote on X, while another added, “Kaluma has reminded us what love and resilience look like.”

For many, the event was more than just a gathering, it was a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, Kenyans can rise as one to support those in need.

Kaluma Day will be remembered as a landmark moment of compassion and national togetherness.
