We are proud to announce that Wasafiri has been honoured by B-Corp as a ‘Best for the World 2019’ Company
I am very excited to join Wasafiri as the Senior Manager, Food Systems and Inclusive Growth, based out of Wasafiri’s Nairobi office. Why is this move so exciting?

The Sustainable Development Goals define the most compelling global challenges of our era. Wasafiri’s work with multinationals is demonstrating the vital leadership role they can play in forging more inclusive and sustainable economies, and strengthening global public goods like security, health, biodiversity and climate

On the 15th January at around 3pm local time there was an armed attack on the Dusit Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya.
At this time we can confirm that all our staff members are safe and accounted for. However, we are deeply saddened to hear that a number of colleagues have lost friends. Our thoughts are with them all at this difficult time.
There has been a public appeal to donate blood at local hospitals in Nairobi, we would encourage our employees and friends to do so where possible.
Since inception, Wasafiri has understood profit as a goal secondary to achieving wider social value. Through the rigorous B-Corp certification process, this has now been formally recognised, joining the ranks of highly respected companies such as Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s.
