Nairobi — Microfinance bank, Faulu, through UAP Old Mutual Faulu Foundation will distribute over 10,000 Masks to its Boda Boda Customers countrywide in a bid to contain the spread of COVID -19.
In a statement, the Foundation through Faulu said it is cognisant of the risk that Boda Boda riders face due to their continuous interaction with people throughout the day as they ferry customers and deliver goods.
Further, Faulu will distribute Masks to its Agents, Security Personnel and Support staff countrywide to ensure their safety as they interact with customers.
The Faulu Masks project is an addition to the UAP Old Mutual Faulu Foundation initiative that earlier supported 434 workers across the UAP Old Mutual Group a drive to complement the National Initiatives done towards management of COVID-19 pandemic.
"Further to the donation of masks, the bank has put in place measures to protect customers and continues to evaluate the working environment of all staff to ensure their safety as they carry out their duties," said Apollo Njoroge, Managing Director, Faulu Microfinance Bank during the launch of the initiative at Faulu Head Quarters.
