SHA Sponsor PRN Payment: Generate, Pay and Confirm Cover
SHA sponsor PRN payment is the last step of sponsoring someone on the SHA sponsor portal. After beneficiaries are chosen and validated, you generate a sponsor payment reference number, pay against it and then confirm that cover is active.
After beneficiaries are validated, generate PRN SHA sponsor details on the portal. The PRN shows the contributions required and the total payable. Pay through the official channels on the PRN, keep your transaction records and confirm cover with SHA.
What is a sponsor payment reference number?
A PRN (Payment Reference Number) is generated by the portal after beneficiaries are selected and validated. It outlines the required contributions and the total amount payable. It is different from the member PRN described in our SHA PRN payment reference number guide.
How to generate a PRN as an SHA sponsor
- Log in at the SHA sponsor portal login.
- Add beneficiaries by your own list or from SHA’s categories, as in how to sponsor someone on SHA.
- Wait for validation.
- Generate the PRN and read the total payable.
SHA sponsor payment: how to pay
Pay only through the official channels indicated on your PRN. Keep every transaction record, because SHA may need them for verification.
After SHA sponsor PRN payment: confirm cover
SHA says making a payment does not automatically activate cover. Confirm that each beneficiary’s cover is active before they use sponsored services. Beneficiaries with incomplete registration or means testing may be excluded from the payment list, so check them early. Questions? Email info@sha.go.ke or visit a SHA County Office or Huduma Centre.
SHA sponsor PRN payment mistakes to avoid
- Paying through a channel not shown on the PRN
