Safaricom and RMS draw large crowds in Homa Bay through Sambaza Furaha Campaign

The Sambaza Furaha na Safaricom caravan was on Friday in its fifth day this week traversing the areas of Homa Bay, Rodi Kopany, Rongo, and Awendo.

As the caravan traversed through the populous Nyanza areas, it drew large crowds, all eager to enjoy a lively mix of entertainment and win incredible gateway prizes. 

The campaign, a collaboration between Safaricom and Royal Media Services, is setting the stage for the festive season, bringing the Christmas spirit to communities across Kenya.

Ruth Atieno, a resident of Homa Bay, was overwhelmed with excitement when she upgraded from the so called ‘katululu’ phone to a sleek new smartphone.

"Safaricom ilikuja hapa ikasema tuonyeshe katululu nikaoyeshana na nikashinda…hii katululu yangu unapigia mtu inazima ata kabla hujamaliza kuongea," Atieno said.

For David Okoth, a resident of Rongo, winning a chicken was the highlight of the day. With a broad smile, he declared that the celebrations had officially begun, marking the start of the Christmas season.

"Mimi siwezi ngoja nimekaa sana bila kukula kuku," Okoth noted.

The caravan’s next stops grew even bigger as it made its way through the regions of Rody Kopany, Rongo, and Awendo.

The third phase of this month-long campaign has seen the people of Nyanza warmly welcoming both Safaricom and RMS representatives.

"This exciting initiative is part of Safaricom’s 24th anniversary celebrations, a way to reward loyal customers for their continued support. On Saturday, the caravan will wrap up the third phase of the campaign in Southwestern Nyanza, passing through areas like Kisii, Kaembu, Keroka, Suneka, and beyond," Lucille Aveva, Director Customer Obsession said.
