Our Story
The Foundation
The Family Group Foundation was established in October 2012 as a collaborative initiative by Family Bank Limited, Kenya Orient Insurance Limited, and Daykio Plantations Limited, all key members of the Family Group. Over decades, these companies have thrived alongside Kenya’s economic growth in finance, insurance, and real estate sectors. However, this growth has highlighted significant social inequalities, leaving many Kenyan families marginalized and lacking essential resources for sustainable livelihoods.
Recognizing the limitations of isolated corporate social responsibility efforts, the founding institutions chose to unite their social impact initiatives under The Family Group Foundation. This strategic consolidation allows for more coordinated, effective, and impactful responses to the socio-economic challenges facing communities across Kenya.
Today, The Family Group Foundation is dedicated to transforming lives through targeted programs that address poverty, enhance access to education, improve health, and foster economic empowerment for vulnerable families. By leveraging the combined expertise and resources of its founding companies, the Foundation pursues innovative and sustainable solutions designed to uplift communities and promote inclusive growth across the country.
Through this focused and integrated approach, The Family Group Foundation continues to build on its legacy of corporate citizenship, striving to create lasting positive change and contribute meaningfully to Kenya’s social development.
The Foundation is also actively engaged in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives with a strong focus on reforestation. The Foundation has committed to restoring 10 acres within the Ngong Hills Forest ecosystem in Kajiado County through a partnership with Green Blue Foundation Africa. This reforestation initiative aims to combat desertification, fight climate change, conserve water resources, and support sustainable use of natural resources by local communities. The project also provides youth employment opportunities through restoration and conservation activities.
