What you need to know:

  • My husband, Bishop Kanyari, is a prophet. He needs to reach as many people as possible through his ministry. He cannot reach as many people by just waiting for people to come to him, he has to try reaching them.

    To air a service for only half an hour on TV costs about Sh130,000.

    He has about four shows every week, so in a month, he spends over Sh1 million on TV only. He needs support to do that.

  • I run an organisation called Tambua Africa, which distributes re-usable sanitary pads to girls from poor backgrounds. I’m mostly funded by organisations in South Africa to do so.
  • We are very quick to judge people. We need to stop that. In most cases, those who judge others the wrong way have done worse mistakes than the people they judge. Like human beings, we all learn from our mistakes and can be better people tomorrow.

Beatrice Mbugua, better known as Betty Bayo, is a top gospel artiste with three albums, several hit songs and awards to her name; but Betty’s success has its share of controversy too.
