Nairobi, Kenya – M-TIBA has partnered with Ebee, an electric mobility solutions provider that creates jobs for youth and women by providing last mile delivery services on electric bicycles.
The partnership will enable over 200 Ebee riders to get innovative healthcare cover of up to Ksh200,000 through the innovative King Afya cover.
‘’Through our partnership with Ebee we are able to bring the first-of-its kind comprehensive accident cover to riders of Ebee bicycles. Riders do not have to worry about any accident-related claims and reimbursements as the Kinga Afya settles hospital bills directly,’’ said M-TIBA CEO Pieter Prickaerts.
Prickaerts added that the partnership with Ebee is strategic as it enables the rollout of the healthcare cover in the fast-growing e-mobility sector.
The benefits to riders include daily compensation during and after hospitalization, compensation incase of permanent disability, and payout incase of a fatal accident.
Ebee said that the Kinga Afya health care cover is critical to the well-being of the riders of Ebee bicycles because of the financial and emotional protection that it will offer.
‘’Part of our DNA is to be empowering to be human, which for us means ensuring our riders have peace of mind and access to medical care. Kinga Afya is that essential safety net that affords our riders the financial security they need when faced with challenges’’ said Olivia Lamenya, Ebee Africa managing director.
Ebee added that Kinga Afya will be available to riders on the Nairobi routes and later it will be scaled to other areas the company operates.
