Kenya Pipeline Company CEO Joe Sang hands over donations at Jawabu Children’s Home in Eldoret/HANDOUTThe Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) is
expanding its Corporate Social Responsibility programmes to support more
vulnerable groups across the country, including the bright and needy.
Managing director Joe
Sang said the company is currently sponsoring 98 students from
all 47 counties who come from less fortunate families and would otherwise
be unable to access education.
“Working with staff and other well-wishers, we try as much as possible
to offer assistance through our CSR programmes because we believe those who
benefit are part of our society and deserve it,” Sang said.
He spoke during a visit
to Jawabu Children’s Home in Eldoret, accompanied by KPC staff who
are in the region for a week-long sports and team-building retreat.
As part of their activities, they
will visit two additional children’s homes to offer support.
During the visit, Sang and the
staff donated food items and other essential supplies to the home, which cares
for more than 140 children living with disability.
Sang also shared words of
encouragement with the children and staff, led by the home’s founder and
director, Patrick Korir.
He underscored the transformative
power of education, saying it remains one of the fastest paths to ending
poverty and driving societal change.
Sang said through his personal
initiative, the Joe Sang Foundation, more than Sh200 million has
been invested in improving learning infrastructure and providing support to
needy students.
The visit was part of a broader
effort to give back to communities, particularly through education and
healthcare initiatives.
“As the Bible says, the hand that gives is blessed. I thank all the
staff who have come here to donate what they can so that we support these
children and ensure they also enjoy Christmas like everyone else,”
he said.
Sang said KPC would consider a
request from Korir for additional support to the home.
“Korir, you and your team are doing a great job caring for these
children and we will look into ways to provide more support,” he
said.
Korir appealed for further
assistance, saying the home needs to acquire adjacent land to expand
its facilities — including dormitories for boys and girls, as well as a
playground suitable for children with special needs.
“Our prayer is to buy the land next to the home so we can expand our
facilities, which are currently inadequate for the many children we serve,”
he said.
Sang urged other well-wishers to support the home and extend generosity to needy Kenyans during the Christmas season.
