CSR Projects

Promoting Education

Imperial Bank's CSR policy focuses on supporting schools to provide learning opportunities for children with special needs. For the last three years, the bank has paid fees for 20 bright but needy students at MERC High School in Matuu. In the last KCSE examinations, 5 of these students passed with A's while the rest had a B score. The bank has also contributed over two million shillings to support school feeding programmes in Ndula and Kililmambogo primary schools. It has equipped Sunrise Africa schools in Kitengela and Nairobi with furniture and office equipment as well as paid school fees for their bright students.

Other Partnerships

Imperial Bank shares its expertise, financial and human resources to support community initiatives. It endeavors to work in partnership with community groups, civil society organizations, NGOs and other companies whose goals are consistent with the bank's CSR focus areas. To this end, the bank partnered with the American Women's Association to empower low income-earners by introducing a savings account for them. The bank has partnered with the Lions clubs in a number of projects in Mombasa and Malindi including the annual free plastic and reconstructive surgery camp at the Malindi District hospital.

Improving the livelihood of disadvantaged children

Imperial Bank is concerned about future generations and is committed to improving the livelihood of disadvantaged children. The bank has therefore supported street children rehabilitation centers such as the Eldoret Rescue Centre, the Street Children's Assistance Network in Nakuru and the Imani Children's home in Nairobi. It also supports children's homes such as Kipchoge Keino's Lewa Children's home and the Hi-Jung Oh Children's home in Nairobi.

Staff Involvement

Imperial Bank commits its resources to creating a positive impact in the community especially in the areas where we have a presence. The bank continues to live its values by achieving commercial success in ways that honor ethical values and respect people and communities. The bank's most important asset is its people. It is committed to providing an enabling and friendly working environment and also invests in training of its staff members to ensure that they reach their full potential. In so doing they contribute to the growth of the bank and give back to the community. Imperial Bank staff members not only support bank-sponsored campaigns but also nationwide initiatives such as the annual Mater Heart run and the Nairobi Hospice Walk.
