Elias Baribwa, Kasulu, Tanzania— It is with profound sadness that the family and community mourn the passing of Elias Baribwa, who died on December 1st, 2024, in Kasulu, Kigoma, Tanzania. Born on January 1st, 1955, Elias dedicated his life to his family and community, leaving behind a legacy of love and service.
A devoted father to ten children, a grandfather to twenty-one grandchildren, and a father-in-law to three sons-in-law and one daughter-in-law, Elias was the cornerstone of his family. His sudden passing has left them heartbroken and facing significant financial challenges as they strive to honor his final wishes.
The family has decided to fulfill Elias’s request to be buried in his home country of Burundi. To make this possible, they have launched a fundraiser to cover the costs of transporting his body, as well as legal, administrative, and funeral expenses. The goal is to raise $30,000 to support these efforts.
Elias was a man of great wisdom and dedication, who worked tirelessly to provide for his family and ensure they had opportunities for a brighter future. His impact on the lives of his loved ones and community will never be forgotten.
As the family navigates this difficult time, they have received support and condolences from many, including Sarah Chiaramonte, who shared a heartfelt message on Facebook: "A dear friend lost her dad yesterday. If you are able to donate any amount to help her & her family get to Burundi for her father’s memorial it would be so appreciated."
We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Elias Baribwa. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this challenging time.
