Children’s Homes across all the six sub-counties of Mombasa are set to receive Ramadan food rations courtesy of Amsons Group of Industries and Bamburi Cement PLC.
This is after the company donated bags of assorted food items to the county government destined for the underprivileged.

The 200 bags of food rations were officially handed over to the county on Monday when the senior leadership from Amsons Group of Industries and Bamburi Cement PLC paid a courtesy call to the Mombasa County Governor.
“This drive is not only in Mombasa but also Nairobi, Machakos, and other counties,” said Sumba.
