Kasha, a Rwandan digital platform focused on providing last-mile access to healthcare, has secured equity funding from Sanofi Global Health Unit's Impact Investment Fund to aid its expansion into other African countries.
Last year, Kasha raised US21 million in a Series B funding round to support its growth. Now, the company has received additional backing from the Impact Investment Fund, which is managed by the global health division of multinational pharmaceutical giant Sanofi.
Since its inception in 2016, Kasha has been offering consumers, resellers, pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics access to affordable, genuine products through its digital retail platform and last-mile distribution network for medicines and fast-moving consumer goods.
Leveraging its data analytics, e-health services, sales, and distribution network, Kasha also serves as a channel partner for businesses. It helps pharmaceutical companies and global health organisations expand access to quality healthcare products, providing marketing, consumer insights, and full distribution visibility to reach the last mile.
Understanding that women are the most influential market for household and health products, yet often underserved, Kasha has strategically focused on women as its primary consumer base.
