ISIOLO, KENYA, December 14, 2023 … In response to the devastating impact of floods in Isiolo North constituency, Pwani Oil Products Limited has taken a proactive step to support the affected families. Today, the company handed over a substantial donation of Popco Pure Vegetable Oil and personal care items, including bars of Ndume Natural Bar Soap to assist at least 1,000 families that have been affected by the floods.

The region has experienced massive displacement, with families losing their homes and belongings.

Thousands of households have been affected, exacerbating the need for immediate relief support.

This donation aims to provide essential sustenance and personal care items to alleviate the hardships faced by the flood victims in Isiolo.
