Speaking during the visit to the facility, Safaricom’s Territory Business Lead, Brenda Chesingei, said, “We are delighted to be here at the Eldoret Children’s Rescue Centre to celebrate with the kids in the spirit of Sambaza Furaha. As we celebrate our customers for walking with us through 24 years of transforming lives, we thought it would also be good to bring an early Christmas to these children and spread joy and blessings. We have seen heavy smiles and joy on their faces, and they are very grateful,” she said.
