Thousands of low-income Kenyan households are poised to benefit from affordable internet connectivity after Finnish development financier Finnfund injected over Ksh500 million ($4 million) into a local internet service provider.
The funding, backed by the European Union and the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), is aimed at bridging the digital divide by providing high-speed internet to underserved communities.
Finnfund is pumping over Ksh500 million into Poa Internet, a local service provider focused on affordable broadband.
Finnfund is hoping to boost digital access to Kenyans in these areas and, in turn, create job opportunities, digital education, and literacy for these Kenyans.
