These efforts underscore the company’s philosophy of not just doing business but also fostering social change.
In honour of its 24th anniversary, Safaricom is not resting on its laurels.
A year-long programme of activities is set to engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including customers, partners, and employees.
This initiative aims to deepen relationships and enhance collaboration with regulators and government bodies, ensuring that the company continues to thrive while contributing to Kenya’s socio-economic growth.
As Safaricom embarks on this new chapter, it does so with a profound sense of purpose and a commitment to continue transforming lives.
