About Us
The Family Group Foundation was established in October 2012 by an associated group of companies that include Family Bank Limited (FBL), Kenya Orient Insurance Limited and Daykio Plantations Limited (DPL).
Over the last 25 years, FBL, KOIL and DPL have benefited from the growth of the Kenyan economy in the finance, insurance and real estate sectors. But this growth has exposed the inequalities in our society leaving many families in the community poor and without access to resources that they need to support themselves. It became evident to the leadership of these institutions that an urgent response to the challenges was required.
In response, FBL, KOIL and DPL each separately engaged in a number CSR activities and in time found that this strategy of small and scattered interventions did not deliver the desired outcome. A review of this approach led to a recognition of the advantages to be had in acting corporately for the social good, and to the founding of The Family Group Foundation.
The foundation is focused on the expansion and restructuring of selective CSR activities previously ran by its founding sponsors, as well as the initiation of new interventions that are more responsive to the challenges impacting Kenyan families.
