PCEA Chogoria Mission hospital is a

beneficiary of SportPesa Foundation’s

Maternal Health Care community

programme, receiving various equipment

worth Ksh1.7 million to boost its

maternal unit services.

SportPesa Foundation has supported the

hospital by donating baby cots,

incubators, neonatal equipment among

others worth more than Ksh1.7 million

to the hospital located in Tharaka

Nithi County.

“Our CSR is aimed at improving maternal

healthcare as part of our contribution

as a corporate citizen in helping the

government address high maternal deaths

and infant mortality rates,” said

SportPesa CEO Captain Ronald Karauri.

“The donation will go a long way in

supporting the hospital to provide

quality healthcare for the people in

this area.”

Chogoria Hospital is currently owned

and managed by the Presbyterian Church

of East Africa (PCEA) and is a not-for-

profit based organisation that provides

quality healthcare services and

training in Tharaka Nithi County.

In addition, SportPesa Foundation

donated kits to 15 football clubs in

the county under the Kits for Africa

project.

“We remain committed to supporting

maternal health and sports. We must

support our youth to meet their

potential in sports and by providing

them with kits is only one way of

ensuring they have the right equipment

to pursue their dreams,” added Captain

Karauri.

Since SportPesa Foundation launched the

maternal health pillar In March 2021,

the organisation has donated medical

equipment to health facilities in

Nairobi, Kiambu, Bomet and now Tharaka

Nithi County.

SportPesa Foundation is focused on

supporting communities in areas of

sports and education, maternal care and

ending period poverty by promoting

menstrual hygiene projects.
