Glovo, a technology company that links motorcycle riders to consumers wishing to buy and deliver products, has announced partnership with Naivas Supermarkets, Kenya’s leading supermarket chain, to provide free deliveries in the wake of the Covid 19 Global Pandemic.

The partnership will see Glovo offer free deliveries for orders above Ksh.1,000 from
Saturday 21 March to Sunday 29 March 2020, and a flat rate delivery fee of Ksh.100
on deliveries above Ksh.1,000 from Monday 30 April to Sunday 19 April.

“As an on-demand delivery service we can provide food, groceries as well as over the
counter pharmacy products. We have an obligation to make these essential products
as accessible as possible, especially for those citizens in need. It’s important that we
all come together now and that we all do as much as we can to help,” said Priscilla
Muhiu, Head of Marketing and Growth, Africa

“In order to comply with the Ministry of Health directive to retailers to manage their
shopper populations to reduce grouping and crowding, we expect that Kenyans will
take to online shopping much faster and more,” said Willy Kimani, Chief Commercial
Officer of Naivas.

when many world economies are facing significant challenges posed by the Corona
Virus.
