Mama to the Rescue is an initiative which aims to deliver meals to the frontline workers who are providing essential services during this pandemic, and to vulnerable communities. The goal is to raise Ksh 200 million to provide support to those in need during this pandemic.
This week, Mama to the Rescue was able to raise Ksh 2,427,074.60 of donations as of 26th May. The donations went to the various frontline workers and marginalized communities.

The money donated comes at a time when the Mama to the Rescue has stepped up its COVID-19 response across the country. Through various partners, the initiative has managed to reach more than 15,448 health workers and communities. Over 6.2 tons of hot meals have been served so far. The top priority is to ensure that health workers are adequately supported to help curb the pandemic while not forgetting those who have suffered losses due to the pandemic.
