As the #SambazaFurahaNaSafaricom caravan toured the Rift Valley region, we came across a heartfelt Facebook comment from Kips Arap Kamau. His touching plea to bring joy to the children at the Eldoret Rescue Centre moved us deeply, and we knew we had to make their wish come true. Last Friday, a team from Safaricom PLC visited the center to spread festive cheer and share the spirit of the season. It was a privilege to bring smiles, love, and joy to these incredible kids, reminding us of the impact of kindness and connection. Let’s continue to spread happiness with #SambazaFurahaNaSafaricom—one smile at a time!
