Cedar Mall, 2nd Floor, Rumuruti Road, Nanyuki, Laikipia, 10400, Kenya

Overview

Mawingu is an internet service provider (ISP) operating in Kenya with a mission to bridge the digital divide by bringing reliable and low-cost internet access to underserved populations, particularly in rural areas. The company focuses on deploying affordable connectivity solutions that enable individuals, businesses, and institutions outside major urban centers to come online. Its core product is broadband internet, which it distributes through infrastructure tailored for hard-to-reach regions. By concentrating on affordability and coverage, Mawingu aims to unlock economic and educational opportunities for users who have historically lacked dependable internet access. The firm’s growth strategy centers on expanding its network footprint deeper into rural Kenya. Mawingu’s current financial profile includes a newly secured $20 million Series C round, signalling investor confidence in its model and providing fresh capital for scaling operations. This latest raise strengthens its balance sheet and positions the company for accelerated rollout of infrastructure to additional communities.
