Safaricom, through M-PESA, in partnership with VISA,on Tuesdya awarded four lucky Kenyans, namely, Mwaniki Munuhe from Nyahururu, Abdirahaman Faysal, Abdinasir Barre and Michael Chege Kariuki from Nairobi with a fully paid trip to Paris for the ongoing Summer Olympic games.

The four won their tickets to Paris in the just-concluded MPESA GlobalPay promotion. They transacted using the M-PESA GlobalPay Virtual Visa Card to qualify for the weekly draws and later earned the winning spots.

The winners will have an opportunity to be accompanied by a companion of their choice to Paris to enjoy various track and field events while supporting and interacting with their favourite athletes from Kenya and beyond.

“I am a huge fan of the Olympics, but I have never attended any Olympic games in person. This will be a thrilling and historic moment for me, I believe this is the best gift ever Safaricom has offered me. I hope to enjoy and interact with some of my favourite athletes from Kenya and other parts of the world. A big thanks to Safaricom and Visa for making this possible,” said Michael Chege, one of the lucky winners.

The trip package includes flights, accommodation, food, drinks, and stadium tickets for various Olympic events.

Any transaction worth KES 1,500 and above made via the M-PESA GlobalPay Visa Virtual Card through the M-PESA App automatically entered the draw for a chance to win a trip to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“It is also the first gift I have ever received from any promotion, so I want to thank Safaricom and Visa immensely. I am a big fan of athletics, and I hope this trip will provide my spouse and me, who will be travelling together, with an exemplary and unforgettable experience as we watch our athletes live on the biggest stage in the world,” said Abdinasir Barre.

Beyond giving customers an opportunity to experience the 2024 Olympic games firsthand in Paris, Safaricom is also supporting Team Kenya, committing KES 30 million in cash and kind.
