On December 4, 2021, the Nairobi county Jericho hospital received a significant boost when Nairobi-based charity organization Anthony Waithaka Foundation and sports gaming firm SportPesa donated medical equipment to the hospital.
As part of the donation, SportPesa, through Antony Waithaka Foundation and Wazee Pamoja Premier league, constructed an incinerator, ambulance drive, and footbath for the hospital, which is located within Makadara constituency in Nairobi.
Speaking during the handover, Makadara parliamentary aspirant Antony Waithaka emphasized the foundation's commitment to supporting different activities in Makadara and collaborating with potential sponsors like SportPesa to enhance the well-being of the community.
"We will continually support different activities in Makadara as well as keep talking with potential sponsors like SportPesa to support the community through such activities to build the community and enhance the well-being of the community," Waithaka said.
According to Lola Okulo, Assistant Marketing Manager at SportPesa foundation, the company is committed to supporting communities and urged Makadara residents to elect people who will support the Government and Corporates alike in a bid to let sponsors have a conducive environment to do business and in return support locals through initiating such projects.
"We as a company would like to come back to fully support communities. We urge you to elect people who will create a conducive environment for us to do business and in return support such projects," Okulo said.
The donation is expected to improve the services provided by the hospital to residents, with Waithaka stating that the project will allow the hospital to provide better services to the community.
"It is good if we have such projects here since our hospital now will have better services to our people. That is what we all want," Waithaka said.
