Jumia will donate 1% of every purchase made from its website over the “Merry Christmas” sales campaign from 13th to 15th November to the Good Samaritan Children’s Home in Juja. The proceeds in cash and in Kind will go a long way to help support the 400 disadvantaged kids that call the centre home.
The online retailer has donated over Ksh 5 million since 2014 to different homes of the less fortunate within the country. By offering a way to contribute without effort or cost, the company hopes to raise the largest donation to date during this month of love, giving and kindness.
