P-Unit’s rapper Gabu, is on a mission to help maintain the Meru Hospice, which serves more than 1,000 cancer patients.

Born and bred in the estate community of Kenyatta Hospital, Gabu is all too familiar with the hospital setting and the challenges faced by several Kenyans in accessing quality healthcare.

“I grew up doing rounds in the wards visiting patients and I still do the same to date,” he told Showbuzz.

“Celebrities are lucky to have a wide audience and I chose to voice the concerns facing people with cancer in Kenya.” He says the Meru Hospice is not able to sustain itself at the moment and there will be several fundraisings and concerts in the next two months to help out.
