Thousands of low-income Kenyans are set to gain access to affordable internet connectivity following an investment of over Ksh500 million ($4 million) by Finnfund, a Finnish development financier, into local internet service provider Poa Internet.

• Finnfund injected over Ksh500 million, supported by the European Union and the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), into Poa Internet.
• The investment aims to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities, benefiting residents in areas like Kawangware, Mathare, and Kibra.
• The move follows a visit by Finland President Alexander Stubb to Kawangware in May to understand Poa Internet's operations and the impact of connectivity in low-income areas.
