The M-Pesa Foundation on April 12 invested Ksh20.96 million in Kisumu and Siaya Counties to boost the health care services in these counties.
This initiative is set to benefit more than 13,000 people. The Foundation will construct a maternal and newborn unit at the Ratta Health Centre in Kisumu County set to cost Ksh16.76 million.
Meanwhile, in Siaya County, the foundation invested Ksh4.2 million towards a free medical camp. This is in partnership with Zuri Health, Checkups Medical Hub, and Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital.
"At Safaricom, our purpose is transforming lives, and through these interventions, we are taking healthcare closer to the people. Going forward, M-PESA Foundation will continue partnering with the counties to enhance service delivery, with a keen focus on maternal and child health,” remarked Peter Ndegwa, CEO, of Safaricom PLC.
