For the loving memory of Timothy Timanywa

Timothy Timanywa
Coordinator of Ni Hekima Pekee organisation Timothy (Timos) Timanywa died in the car accident in Mwanza on Wednesday 21st of August. Our deepest condolence goes to Timothy's family and friends. We all have now met an enormous loss.

This writing is for the loving memory of Timothy. We remember Timothy as a warm, friendly and helpful person. He was always ready to help others and give his time for those who were in need of his support.


I personally was honoured to know Timothy as a workmate. He was one of the great persons who I got to know during my work with Ni Hekima Pekee. Timothy was always willing to guide me through my tasks and tell if there was something to improve. All this he made by understanding and tactful way.

Together we visited many of Ni Hekima Pekee beneficiaries, saw many kind of families and got to know little bit of their reality. Despite the mentally hard work, Timothy seemed to be always optimistic and open to life. One of the greatest things was Timothy's humor. He really was a happy and sunny person, but still realistic and sensible.

As far as I know, Timothy was also believer. Once he asked me, why I do not go to the church. I guess I did not reply very respectful, since religion is quite delicate topic for me, but Timothy was not offended because of this. He respected also different worldviews and opinions of other people.

Although it was painful and unreal to hear sad news about Timothy, I believe he is now in a peaceful and beautiful place. He is now resting in peace, but living forever in our memories.

 Thank you for the great impact you have made to our lives. We will never forget you, Timothy!
