Safaricom Foundation has launched Ndoto Zetu Phase 7, deepening its impact and sustaining life-changing community projects in health, education, and economic empowerment across all 47 counties.
In this phase, the Foundation will invest Ksh 100 million, adding to the Ksh 500 million invested since the launch of the Ndoto Zetu initiative in 2019, helping solve thousands of communities’ challenges.
The phase 7 initiative was launched at Eldoret Special School in Uasin Gishu County, where the Foundation donated a range of equipment, including knitting machines and materials, to support the school’s vocational unit.
The tools will empower learners to create and sell hand-crafted products, enhancing their economic independence and livelihood opportunities.
“With Ndoto Zetu, we are inspired by everyday Kenyans who dare to dream not just for themselves, but for their communities. As we launch Phase 7, we are walking this journey with you, because when your dream lifts others, it becomes our dream too,” said Dr. Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom PLC.
How many projects has Safaricom Ndoto Zetu supported?
Since its launch, the Ndoto Zetu initiative has seen over 1,820 projects completed, directly improving the lives of more than 3 million people across all 47 counties. Last year alone, the Foundation handed over 400 projects, comprising 294 in education, 52 in health, and 54 in economic empowerment.
Additionally, M-Pesa Foundation also launched its Wezesha Mama Programme in the Rift region in partnership with Hand-in-Hand to empower women groups in the region by providing training, resources, and financial support to help them establish sustainable businesses and improve their livelihoods.
