As an integral subsidiary of KenGen PLC, the KenGen Foundation operates with a distinct mission—to transform short-term, one-off Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives into enduring Corporate Social Investments (CSI). Our goal is to elevate CSI activities, amplifying their impact while concurrently expanding and diversifying resources for these vital projects. Registered as a trust and enjoying tax-exempt status, the Foundation stands committed to making a lasting difference.

Our motivation springs from a profound acknowledgment of the impact that power plants have on communities and the environment. KenGen PLC, as a conscientious corporate citizen, collaborates with communities to enhance their well-being, fostering enduring relationships. The Foundation concentrates its efforts within two pivotal thematic areas: Environment (SDG 13) and Education (SDG 4), aiming to complement community projects in economic empowerment and humanitarian aid.

Embarking on a strategic journey from 2023 to 2028, the KenGen Foundation is dedicated to realizing its vision through a comprehensive strategy.
