The Social Values We Contribute

Meeting our Societal Commitments

At Safaricom, as we pursue our purpose of transforming lives in terms of our social and relationship and natural capitals, we are committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. We are determined to play our part in contributing to a productive society in which equality and opportunity work in tandem to promote an inclusive society, in which all people have the opportunity to better their lives and fulfil their potential. We recognize that of the many areas in which assistance and support are needed, education, health and economic empowerment are among the most fundamental, where meaningful projects and initiatives can make an enormous difference.
