Power Financial Wellness is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Food For Education, a non profit organisation whose operations are aimed towards providing quality meals for students across public schools in Kenya. Under the agreement, Power will provide the staff with personal finance skills, as well as access to their earned wages, insurance services and long-term credit facilities at an affordable rate.
Since 2020 when it began operations, Power has built a fully digital platform connecting companies and their workforces to a holistic set of digital financial services. Workers are able to access their earnings at any time, withdraw funds to their M-Pesa or bank, save and invest instantly to their preferred investment option, qualify for longer term loans, and enrol in insurance products, all from the comfort of their phone.

The Power solution helps to deliver financial health so that Food for Education staff can reduce finance related stress and improve the quality of their lives!”
The Food for Education People Team are able to onboard their employees with ease, thanks to Power’s user-friendly online interface, allowing the management the option to choose the modules they would like to activate for their employees and the restrictions that each of their employees can access. Each eligible employee will then receive a personalised credit limit from Power, which they will be able to access and withdraw directly to their M-pesa, bank account or even use it to pay their daily utilities.
