Jambojet celebrated its second anniversary by rewarding high-achieving students from Mukuru Kwa Njenga slums as part of a new initiative to cultivate a culture of academic excellence among the youth.
The 20 students from Our Lady of Nazareth Primary School were flown from Nairobi to Mombasa for one day as part of Jambojet's new sustainability program, dubbed 'Off Chocks'.
The educational trip will see the students visiting a number of interesting locations in Mombasa, including the celebrated historical site, Fort Jesus and Haller Park, which is renowned for environmental success.
"Off Chocks is a corporate social responsibility initiative whose objective is to provide support to students in seven counties across the country, those that Jambojet flies to," said Jambojet CEO Willem Hondius.
