Equity Bank Kenya claims its mission is to empower clients and stakeholders, both socially and economically.

The Nairobi-based lender’s corporate responsibility foundations are built on the Equity Group Foundation (EGF), the corporate foundation it formed in 2008 with a mandate to serve and protect the most vulnerable citizens. Every year, 2% of the bank’s annual revenues are set aside to fund the foundation’s charitable endeavours.

It is led by James Mwangi, managing director and chief executive of Equity Group.

Equity Bank Kenya primarily targets campaigns that improve educational performance and health facilities.
