Empowering Communities through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Other than tax collection and provision of tax services in the country, we understand the importance of giving back to society. Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) pillars—Education, Health, Environment, and Sports- we have implemented over 100 social engagement initiatives in underserved communities through our Tenda Wema program.

In doing good KRA staff have offered donations (food, clothing, dignity kits) counseling, and mentorship sessions in schools and youth in underserved communities. ??So far, we have mentored 358 youth and teen mothers in Ngong, Kibra, Mukuru kwa Reuben, and Njiru.

Under our education pillar, KRA staff visited Shinning Hill School in Njiru, offering valuable counseling and mentorship to students on critical social issues such as teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and early marriages. KRA-certified counselors from the Customs and Border Control Department Mr. Samuel Githinji and Ms. Bertha Wambui shared insights and personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of avoiding early marriages and drug abuse.

Under our Health pillar, we have embraced neurodiversity by celebrating Autism Awareness Month through staff sensitizations and school visits. One such visit was at Percy Davies Special School in Murang'a County. During this event, our staff donated food to 89 special needs students and participated in activities such as singing, dancing, sharing snacks, and storytelling.

Additionally, KRA Volunteers have given 2250 Hours( 94 days) of community service in areas such as Umama Grounds, Komarok, Kawangware kwa Chief, Huruma, Soweto, Embakasi, Dagoretti, Ngando Ward, Mwiki, Kasarani, Mihango, Lake View Junior Academy, Kibera High- Rise Soweto Resource Centre, Dagoretti, Ngando Ward, Babadogo area amongst others. These engagements are done every Sunday, ?in partnership with the Hindu Council of Kenya and Relationship Haven Organisation through a weekly feeding program in underserved communities.

Our Tenda Wema program, Swahili for "do good," encourages voluntary donations from our staff to support local underprivileged communities. It's more than a campaign; it's a movement aimed at fostering generosity among our employees and making a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

Through our CSR Volunteerism Program, we actively engage our staff in initiatives that foster community engagement. This demonstrates our commitment to social responsibility. By coming together and giving back, we can make a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Join us in giving back and being part of the change, as Kulipa Ushuru, nikujitegemea!
