Safaricom has announced a KES 2 million sponsorship for Car No 23 belonging to Peter Kinyua's team ahead of the 2022 Rhino Charge competition.
The annual off-road 4×4 competition, held in Mara, Suswa, has attracted a field of 64 rally drivers, including the legendary Kenya rally driver Ian Duncan with his team 'KTM Cruisers'.
As team 23, which has been participating in the Rhino Charge for the last 25 years, Peter Kinyua, Chairman of the Kenya Forest Service, expressed gratitude to Safaricom for their unwavering support.
'Safaricom has been our partner for quite a while. Their support for the annual Rhino Charge competition has continued to bear fruit by preserving our ecosystem through environmental conservation,' said Kinyua.
The Rhino Charge raises funds to support the activities of the Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust, an NGO working towards the conservation and protection of Kenya's mountain range ecosystems, the so-called 'Water Towers.'
Since its inception, the annual Rhino Charge has raised over KES 1.6 billion for vital projects managed by Rhino Ark, which seek to balance the needs of local communities and the goal of protecting nature.
