Thank you Safaricom for being in almost every part of Kenya. It goes a long way in assuring me that you guys will be around for a long time. Secondly, kudos for being one of the first companies in Kenya to embrace the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the goals)<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div>Regarding the fact that you are in almost every part of Kenya, my question is: is there a way you can partner with Kenyan filmmakers to promote Kenyan films and series/web series? Especially the work of independent and upcoming filmmakers who usually don't have the connections or resources to plug into the existing broadcasting/screening channels. I applaud innovative initiatives such as Skiza tunes and Blaze. These say to me that similar initiatives can be implemented to promote Kenyan filmmakers. Media convergence is already here with us; as a market leader, Safaricom should be at the forefront of innovative initiatives related to this.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div>Regards,<br clear="none"></div><div>Mildred Achoch.<br clear="none"></div></div><div class="yiv4917886904gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="yiv4917886904gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Check out the Rock 'n' roll film festival, Kenya TV Channel! <br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com/">http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
