His philanthropic work, which began when he joined Mombasa Cement in 2007, had a profound impact on the lives of many. Through the Sahajanad Feeding Centre, he provided meals to over 40,000 individuals, and his Sahajanand Special School supported the education and basic needs of over 5,000 pupils. He also contributed to local infrastructure by building concrete fences around schools and police stations, all as part of his commitment to giving back to the community.

In addition to his work in Kenya, Hasu served as the director of Corrugated Sheets Limited in Kenya and Tororo Cement Limited in Uganda. His contributions to the Kibarani Dumpsite project, in partnership with Governor Joho and President Uhuru Kenyatta, showcased his dedication to environmental conservation and community development.
Educated at Aga Khan Educational Services Schools and Kingston University in London, Hasu was known for his humility and reluctance to enter politics, despite the community’s encouragement. His passing marks the end of a significant chapter in Mombasa’s history, but his legacy will continue to inspire and benefit the community for years to come.
