Airtel Kenya has been declared as the winner in the Humanitarian/Corporate Award 2017 at the annual Kenya Red Cross Volunteer Awards.

The Awards were held at the Boma Hotel on Friday last week.

The mobile operator has won the award for the second year running.

The awards are held in recognition of volunteers, institutions, artists, universities, celebrities, youth, the corporate sector and organisations that have shown exemplary service, continued support and contribution to Red Cross’ work.

This year’s awards marked the 3rd edition.

According to Red Cross, the awards are meant to appreciate everyone that has in one way or the other taken their time to support and help the vulnerable members in the society.

The most notable project that was undertaken by Airtel and the Kenya Red Cross is the Trilogy Emergency Response Application (TERA) which was launched in 2015.
