CSR

Kenya Re has for many years contributed to the national kitty on disasters. The Corporation also contributes directly to the local community for more impact and to establish long term stakeholder engagements. It has supported children’s homes and participated in the annual Matter Heart Run and Stanchart Marathon. In addition, the Corporation sponsors academic excellence awards in Kenya’s tertiary institutions.

However, in 2011 Kenya Re reviewed this strategy and opted to sustainably focus on one major Corporate Social Responsibility initiative to establish impactful long term stakeholder value. Various considerations were made including taking an initiative in education and environment or support for persons with disability.

The Corporation opted for the latter for its uniqueness as no other corporation had adopted such a CSR initiative before and recognizing the huge magnitude of need that existed in this area. The campaign was dubbed
Niko Fiti’ Ability Beyond Disability.

The Campaign Launch and Fundraising

The Corporation officially launched the “Niko Fiti” Ability Beyond Disability, Corporate Social Responsibility Campaign on November 3rd 2011 at an event officiated by the Vice President of Kenya, Hon Kalonzo Musyoka. During the launch assistive devices comprising of 15 wheel chairs, 3 tricycles, 2 cushions, 1 walking Frame, 2 crutches, 5 white canes and 50 boxes of incontinence urine bags were distributed to 78 beneficiaries through Organizations of Persons with Disabilities. The beneficiaries were derived from a needs assessment exercise that had been carried out by Kenya Re in conjunction with Association of the Physically Disable of Kenya (APDK). The devices facilitated their mobility and enabled them to bolster their social and economic stature.

Kenya Re opened a bank account specific for “Niko Fiti” Campaign where all monies donated will be held and disbursed. This will assist in monitoring use of funds and facilitate auditing of the same to allow accountability of the public funds. The Corporation also obtained a mobile money service to enable members of the public to contribute to the campaign.
