The Kenya Power Foundation has committed Sh20 million to fund community projects across the country under its Wezesha Jamii programme, targeting schools, health facilities and vulnerable groups in more than 20 locations.

The initiative, which will run for a month, will support projects in education, healthcare, environmental conservation and social welfare, reflecting growing corporate efforts to expand community investment beyond core business operations.

Speaking in Nairobi during the launch of the Foundation’s Luku Safi event, Kenya Power Foundation patron and chairperson Logan Hambrick said the programme seeks to improve living standards through practical community interventions.

“Wezesha Jamii is all about enabling our communities to do more and become better. By supporting schools, health programmes and key environmental projects, we are championing dignity and creating empowered societies. This is at the heart of our Foundation’s mission to transform lives and create impact,” said Hambrick.

The projects include the renovation of classrooms, construction of sanitation facilities, upgrading of dormitories and establishment of ICT laboratories in schools across several counties.

The foundation also plans to fund medical camps, refurbish health facilities and provide assistive and therapy equipment for children living with disabilities.

Among the institutions set to benefit are Kakamega High School, Mabanga RC Primary School, Muguna Comprehensive School, Wikoteng Primary School, Nyamuga Comprehensive School, Chief Mbogori Girls’ High School, Lamu Girls Secondary School, Rabai Secondary School and Kabarnet High School.

In West Pokot, the foundation will support vulnerable children at Perur Rays of Hope Rescue Centre, while in Korogocho it will help acquire therapy and assistive equipment for Light and Hope for Disabled Children.

The programme will conclude in Nyamira county with activities at Danes Eronge Secondary School.

“Wezesha Jamii will support more than 20 projects. We seek to undertake classroom renovations, construct sanitation facilities, build ICT laboratories, upgrade dormitories, organise medical camps, renovate health facilities and provide assistive equipment for differently abled children,” she said.

The Kenya Power Foundation operates through programmes focused on energy and environment, education and skills development, and community wellness.

The latest investment comes as more companies increase spending on social impact projects amid rising demand for support in education, healthcare and environmental sustainability.
