Nairobi, Kenya – Kua Ventures has invested KSh 15 million in Boresha Africa Limited, a Kenyan manufacturer of cleaning chemicals and hygiene solutions serving institutional and commercial clients across the country.
The investment, structured as straight debt financing, will provide working capital to support the importation of raw materials and enable the company to scale production capacity as demand for professional hygiene and sanitation solutions continues to grow.

Through this investment, Kua Ventures aims to support Boresha Africa’s continued growth as a local manufacturer providing essential hygiene products to businesses and institutions throughout Kenya. The additional working capital will allow the company to increase inventory of key raw materials used in the production of cleaning chemicals, ensuring consistent supply while supporting expansion into new markets and customer segments.
