Kenya’s Digital Divide Push Gets KES 517M Boost Through Poa Internet’s Finnfund Deal Poa Internet, Kenya’s fastest-growing internet service provider, has secured a $4 million debt investment from Finnfund, a Finnish development financier, in a move set to supercharge its mission of bringing affordable broadband to underserved communities across the country. That's worth about KES 516.8 million in funding today. As of March 2025, Poa Internet commanded 261,491 subscribers (14.1%), up from 238,030 in December 2024, reflecting its rapid rise in a market long dominated by Safaricom and Zuku. Much of this growth stems from its community-first approach, rolling out in low-income neighborhoods often neglected by bigger players. https://tech-ish.com/2025/08/29/poa-internet-funding-to-expand-affordable-internet/
