Safaricom introduces Sh10 hourly Wi-Fi package targeting low-income households

Safaricom has introduced an hourly Wi-Fi service that lets customers access broadband internet for as little as Sh10, in a move aimed at extending connectivity to low-income households and individuals who cannot afford conventional monthly internet subscriptions.The tokenised Wi-Fi service, highlighted in the company's FY2026 Sustainable Business Report, is being piloted in Kibera and Kawangware, two densely populated Nairobi neighbourhoods where the cost of regular internet subscriptions can limit access to digital services.
