The end of the coronavirus pandemic is not yet in sight, and from day one, Mozzart Bet has sustained support to Kenya’s health system by donating essential equipment to health care facilities.

The gaming company has so far spent over Ksh70 million in various CSR activities, mostly for the fight against Covid-19. This is through its “Supporting Our Healthcare Facilities” programme.

The socially responsible company donates medical equipment to hospitals all over the country several times a month. On April 27, 2021, Mozzart officials visited Homa Bay Level-4 Hospital with a donation of equipment worth Ksh2.5 million. The items included three-ply disposable masks, N95 face masks, PPE kits, anti-fog goggles, face shields, mattresses and hospital beds.

At hand to receive the equipment was Homa Bay County Governor Cyprian Awiti and other dignitaries from the county. Awiti expressed gratitude to Mozzart and said the donation would go a long way in improving health care in the county.  

“These items will go a long way in addressing health issues in our county. We feel elated and want to sincerely thank Mozzart. One health caregiver uses at least two PPEs in a day. A frontline worker might even use more, so there’s a need to have enough of them. We thank Mozzart for this initiative,” he said.

“So far, we have vaccinated slightly over 11,000 citizens in Homa Bay (against Covid-19) and we are still in progress to vaccinate more. Apart from the Covid-19 pandemic, these items will also be key in the fight against other diseases. We are therefore very grateful to Mozzart for the gesture,” he added.

Mozzart Country Manager Sasa Krneta confirmed that the organisation would continue its support to Kenyan communities through its various CSR initiatives.

“We have donated critical equipment to 33 different hospitals across the country since last year. We also have the #Action100Wells programme, which is aimed at digging 100 new water points in different locations in Kenya. So far, we have actioned four wells and the fourth one is ongoing in Busia. Our commitment to supporting Kenyans across the country is unwavering,” he said.
