SGA Security Donates Maternity Care Packs to Pumwani Hospital in Honor of International Women’s Day

In celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day, SGA Security extended a helping hand to new mothers at Pumwani Maternity Hospital in Nairobi by donating essential maternity items, including newborn care packs.

The initiative aligns with the 2025 theme, #AccelerateAction, which advocates for the urgent removal of systemic barriers and biases affecting women.The donation, which comprised diapers and toiletries, aimed to support both mothers and newborns, reinforcing SGA Security’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and community service.

SGA Security is one of East Africa’s leading security solutions providers, with its fixed base operations in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The company has been in operation for the past 55 years with over 19,000 employees, providing unmatched security solutions to governments, corporations, and individuals across the region.

Speaking at the event, SGA Kenya Head of Sales and Marketing, Irene Opondo, emphasized the company’s dedication to championing women’s rights and well-being.

“At SGA, we recognize that many mothers, particularly in the Pumwani area, face various challenges. As a company that values security at all levels, we believe in ensuring both physical and emotional well-being. Our presence here today is a testament to our commitment to making a positive impact on society. As we mark International Women’s Week, we stand with organizations worldwide in accelerating change that will enable women and girls to thrive,” said Ms. Opondo.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the hospital, Pascaline Kimongu, Head of Social Services at Pumwani Maternity Hospital, expressed gratitude to SGA Security for their generosity.

“This hospital serves many mothers, especially those from vulnerable communities. Your donation will greatly assist them as they transition home with their newborns. It will also benefit mothers admitted for extended care who may not have access to these essential items,” she noted.

As Kenya’s largest maternity hospital, Pumwani Maternity Hospital plays a crucial role in providing maternal and child healthcare, particularly for low-income families in Nairobi.

International Women’s Day serves as a platform to advocate for gender equality, reproductive rights, and the fight against violence and discrimination toward women.
