It's pretty simple really, life is full of ups and downs and every corner you turn presents you with unique opportunities and hazards. That much has never been in question. And let's face it, Kenyans are all about that hustle!@ From the manamba on the matatu to the start up enterpreneur hustling! And that is a spirit I truly admire and respect.

But when you fall ill, or when you have an accident because you were rushing to put food on the table, what is your fallback plan? How do you ensure you are properly taken care of? That is where NHIF comes in!

You see, for a long time NHIF has been associated with employed individuals who remit monies to them every month but that left the hustlers unattended to. So the good folk over at NHIF sat down and came up with a plan that was geared at taking care of the hustlers, the mama mboga and the all round street smart guys chasing deals.
