“We understand that time is of the essence given how dire the situation is and continues to be, and extending this support in the shortest timeframe has been our priority. Naivas feels a strong duty to assist the communities in which we operate, and this is one of those times when we must stand up to be counted. This is not a one-off initiative, but we are looking at other ways to leverage our network to keep playing our part in supporting those impacted by the devastating floods.”

The generous contribution from Naivas underscores the importance of corporate social responsibility and collective efforts in addressing humanitarian emergencies. As Kenya grapples with the aftermath of severe flooding, initiatives like these provide crucial support and hope to those most affected by the disaster.
