Remembering Mussa Mgata
Date: 25th February 2025
It is with profound shock and sadness that we announce that Mussa Mgata, our Executive Director for Railway Children Africa, passed away suddenly on Tuesday 25th February.
Mussa led the Railway Children Africa team since July 2018 and during that time changed the lives of thousands of children across Tanzania, leaving a legacy of joy, hope and positivity for so many children, young people and families.
Mussa epitomised everything that Railway Children stands for and has led our Railway Children Africa family with such a wonderful, infectious energy and his kind heart.
Words cannot express the sadness that we all have at this news and we send our love to Mussa’s family, friends and loved ones and anyone who had the pleasure working alongside Mussa.
He will be remembered by us all with happiness and love and we will endeavour to ensure to carry his work forwards with Mussa’s energy and vision.
