Not all heroes wear capes. Some wake up before sunrise to provide for their families, while others work tirelessly to build their businesses, support their communities, and create a better future for the next generation.
This Mashujaa Day, we celebrate the everyday efforts of Kenyans who keep the country moving forward.
That is why at Turaco, we are proud to support these everyday heroes with simple, affordable protection that helps them to keep going no matter what.
Happy Mashujaa Day, Kenya! 🇰🇪💙

Have you ever gotten insurance protection for just Ksh60?
Tuunza Mapato, a new insurance cover from Safaricom and Turaco, helps protect both your health and your income for just Ksh60 per week.
With the Msingi Self Cover, you get:
✅ Ksh1,000 for every night spent in hospital
✅ Coverage for up to 30 nights per year
✅ Ksh100,000 paid to your next of kin in the event of death
The cover is also fully digital, allowing you to sign up online and get covered immediately.
For many Kenyans, a hospital stay doesn't just come with medical costs. It can also mean days or weeks without income. Tuunza Mapato is designed to provide financial support when you need it most.

As we continue celebrating Customer Service Week 2026, we’re turning the spotlight inward to our team.
For many of our team members, serving customers is rewarding. But seeing their colleagues go the extra mile often gives them that extra push to do the same.
“One way the team inspires me to go the extra mile is how everybody tries to put their best foot forward when it comes to customer situations,” says Justina Archer, our team member from Ghana.
When we show up for each other and see one another giving our best for customers, going the extra mile becomes something we do together. 💙

At @turaco_insure, customer service is more than a function. It is how we show up for our customers and partners when it matters most.
As we celebrate Customer Service Week 2026 under the theme “Going the Extra Mile,” our CEO, Ted Pantone, shares what this means for us and why great service remains central to the way we work.
For us, going the extra mile means responding with speed, empathy, and care, especially in the moments when our customers need us most.
As we continue building towards our mission of insuring 1 billion people, we remain committed to delivering simple, reliable, and human experiences across every touchpoint.
Happy Customer Service Week from all of us at @turaco_insure.

Going the extra mile is not just what we do this week. It is how we want every Turaco customer to experience us, every day.

During the session, Julius Katimbo, CEO of @turaco_insure and a PR Committee member, challenged students to embrace change, look beyond the traditional paths of their degrees and continuously develop themselves.
He emphasised that academic qualifications alone are not enough. Integrity, empathy, trustworthiness, adaptability and a willingness to learn are qualities that set professionals apart.
With Uganda’s insurance penetration still below 1%, he encouraged students to see the industry not simply as a place to find jobs, but as a space to contribute, innovate and create opportunities.
His message was simple: don’t just compete for opportunities , prepare yourself to create and recognise them.
In his remarks, our CEO, Christopher Bakesiga, shed light on the role of insurance intermediaries, with a particular focus on insurance brokers and the value they bring to clients and the wider insurance industry.
He highlighted how brokers help clients understand their risks, navigate insurance options and make informed decisions about the protection they need.

Heavy rains and flooding threaten more than property. They could wipe out years of hard work.
For a small business owner, losing stock or equipment can mean losing daily income, school fees and the ability to repay a loan.
That’s why @turaco_insure Micro Property Cover matters.
With @turaco_insure Micro Property Cover, financial institutions, SACCOs, MFIs & digital lenders protect small business owners from shocks like fire, floods, or theft that could wipe out their livelihoods. We help them recover faster when the unexpected happens.
