It is with regret we have been notified about the sudden passing away of David Whitworth.
David, together with his partner Wendy, has been a prominent supporter and donor for Musoma.
They have been visiting Musoma regularly over past 15 years and have raised large sums for the Town.They have attended various Musoma events over the years in Musoma, London and were also present at the
Toronto Re-Union.David’s untimely death is a big loss to Musoma and its causes.
I take this opportunity to pass on our condolences to Wendy and David’s family members for a large vacuum David’s death has created in their lives.
His good nature and polite manners together with his selfless philanthropic work in Musoma will always be remembered.

David had a genuine love for Musoma and his cause for improving lives in Musoma and surrounding areas is unmatched. David will be missed a lot
On behalf of Nurdin Chand & Family, we express our heartfelt condolences to the family and may God give them the strength to bear this loss.

The sad news of David passing away has come to me as a shock. I had heard a lot about the humanitarian work of David and Wendy for Musoma from my brother Manjul. I had good fortune to meet this lovely couple on my trip to Musoma and spend some time with them. The development and progress of Musoma was at their heart and they were very passionate in the matter.
The untimely demise of David will be a great loss to family, friends, colleagues and people of Musoma. Our sincere prayres to God to give courage and strength to bear the grief in particular to Wendy and family in general. May the departed soul rest in peace.
