Eunice Kibathi 

Senior Project Officer 

Eunice joined Safaricom in 2001 as a Customer Care Representative and when the Foundation was founded in 2003, she made a commitment to volunteer an hour of her day to the Foundation.  

“I have always had the love for the community around me and when I joined Safaricom I asked myself what I could do to make a difference.” 

One of her activities in support of the Foundation’s work was to mobilise her colleagues support for a children’s home.  From the positive responses she received from her workmates, she realised that even small acts can make a difference. She joined the Foundation in 2008 on a fulltime basis.  Eunice reminds Kenyans that making a difference starts with “each one of us”.
