    • Shell Club Celebrates Mother’s Day by Supporting New Mothers at Pumwani Maternity Hospital Vivo Energy Kenya , the company that distributes and markets Shell products and services in the country, marked this year’s Mother’s Day by clearing outstanding medical bills for new mothers at Pumwani Maternity Hospital. The initiative, led through the Shell Club loyalty programme, aimed to support mothers and families while recognizing the critical role women play in society. The celebration aligns with this year’s Mother’s Day theme, “The Great Unburdening,” which highlights the need to ease the emotional, financial, and social pressures faced by mothers. Supporting Mothers Beyond Celebration Speaking during the initiative, Peter Murungi said the programme reflects the company’s commitment to compassion, care, and community wellbeing. “Motherhood is one of life’s most important journeys, and this Mother’s Day, we wanted to celebrate mothers in a meaningful and impactful way,” he said. He added that the company was proud to support families at Pumwani Maternity Hospital by easing financial burdens during a critical moment in their lives. According to Murungi, the initiative also aligns closely with Vivo Energy Kenya’s core values of empathy, respect, and thoughtfulness toward customers and communities. Shell Club Expands Social Impact Efforts Beyond customer rewards, Shell Club says it continues to expand its social impact agenda through initiatives focused on dignity, health, and community wellbeing. The programme noted that it remains committed to supporting meaningful community projects across Kenya while investing in initiatives that promote social and economic progress. The Mother’s Day support at Pumwani Maternity Hospital comes at a time when many families continue to face financial pressures linked to healthcare access and maternal care. By settling hospital bills for new mothers, the initiative sought to allow families to focus on recovery and celebration without the added stress of medical costs. Ultimately, the programme reflects growing efforts by private sector players to combine customer engagement with community-centered impact initiatives that address real social needs.

Google to Invest £5bn in UK AI Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has unveiled a £5bn ($6.8bn) investment in the UK focused on artificial intelligence. The funding will go into infrastructure and advanced scientific research over the next two years, coinciding with US President Donald Trump’s state visit. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Alphabet’s president and chief investment officer Ruth Porat said there were “profound opportunities in the UK” for pioneering work in advanced science. The announcement comes alongside the official opening of a $1bn (£735m) data centre in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, which Chancellor Rachel Reeves will launch on Tuesday. The investment also extends to DeepMind, Google’s London-based AI subsidiary, led by Nobel Prize winner Sir Demis Hassabis. DeepMind’s research aims to revolutionise advanced science, strengthening what Porat described as a “US-UK special technology relationship.” Energy, Jobs, and the Future of AI Porat emphasised that the UK’s AI Opportunities Action Plan played a role in securing the investment, though she noted that capturing the benefits of AI “was not a foregone conclusion.” She highlighted both economic and societal opportunities, while acknowledging risks that require joint mitigation. Alphabet’s expansion comes as the company’s valuation topped $3 trillion, joining Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Its share price has surged after US courts decided against breaking up the firm. CEO Sundar Pichai has repositioned Google as an “AI First” company, driving its market momentum. Addressing environmental concerns, Porat explained that the new data centre will use air cooling, with captured heat redistributed to schools and homes. Google has also partnered with Shell to ensure its UK operations are powered by “95% carbon-free energy.” On jobs, she admitted that AI adoption presents challenges, but stressed that new industries and professions are emerging. “AI is collaborating with people rather than replacing them,” she said, urging graduates and professionals to engage with the technology rather than fear it.
