KQ famine relief efforts

Kenya Airways launches famine relief efforts

Kenya Airways has launched nine initiatives aimed at helping Kenyans affected by the famine in parts of the country.
This includes a cash donation of over £66,000 to the Kenya Red Cross for short term interventions for drought stricken areas. In addition, it has donated cargo space on KQ planes for use by the Red Cross to transport donations from Europe and Africa over the next two months.
“With a staff complement of over 4,000, we are confident that we can raise a substantial amount of money to help feed and clothe those in need. Additionally, our staff members will participate in our CSR initiatives in order that they may get a better understanding of the situation and also be part of the solutions,” said Kenya Airways CEO, Dr Titus Naikuni.
The national carrier is also encouraging staff to donate to the charity by doubling every shilling donated and allowing them to contribute any unused leave into cash towards the Famine Relief kitty.
Passengers can make voluntary cash contributions to the Famine Relief kitty on KQ’s website, or onboard flights.
