Safaricom has introduced an affordable income protection product through its My One App, allowing Kenyan households to access hospital cash and funeral cover for as little as KSh 60 per week.
What Tuunza Mapato CoversThe product addresses two specific financial vulnerabilities.
When a policyholder is admitted to hospital, Tuunza Mapato pays out KSh 1,000 per night for up to 30 nights in any given year, providing a maximum hospital cash benefit of KSh 30,000 for the lower package.
After opening the My One App, they should navigate to "Do More With M-Pesa," select "Insure and Protect," and then choose Tuunza Mapato.
The telco has positioned Tuunza Mapato as a practical option for households operating within tight monthly budgets, particularly those without access to employer-based insurance or other formal financial safety nets.
