Following the end of the Loon project and Kenya’s deal with Google, there’s a new need for accessible internet in uncovered rural areas. Telkom Kenya believes they can provide internet to all their customers “in the spirit of Madaraka”. They hope to give all Kenyans the freedom and opportunity to live out their dreams.
In August of 2020, Telkom Kenya introduced a new business plan for better internet access to all Kenyans. They are confident that their investment in infrastructure and the widespread fibre network rollout will eventually reach even the most remote citizens.
Telkom customers can get the lifetime offer called Madaraka Life for only KSh.100, once-off. This will give you 1GB of mobile data and 100 minutes of talk time for Telkom-to-Telkom calls each month. If you’re new to Telkom, you can also register to their mobile money service and instantly get Ksh.50 back in your mobile wallet. If you’re already a Telkom Kenya customer, simply load KSh.100 of airtime to opt-in for this lifetime deal.
The company’s primary focus is to improve telecommunications and infrastructure in the country. They hope to bridge the digital divide between first and third-world countries.
