On Twitter the hashtag HeroSalah has been trending as some Kenyans fundraise for the family of Salah Farah, who died in a Nairobi hospital on Sunday. On Tuesday his body was flown home to the northeastern town of Mandera for burial.
Farah, who was a teacher in the coastal town of Malindi, was among passengers on a bus from Mandera to Nairobi in December when they were attacked by al-Shabab gunmen.
When they were ordered to separate according to religion, he was among the Muslims who stood up to protect the Christians. He was shot in the hip.
