Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)<br />
In 2015, Family Bank continued to reaffirm and demonstrate leadership in CSR initiatives. The Bank attributes its<br />
success to the support that we continue to receive from our shareholders and customers. The Bank is committed to<br />
supporting worthy causes and projects from various sectors in the areas of sports, education, healthcare and community<br />
empowerment as follows:<br />

Sports<br />
· Family Bank continues to reassert its credentials in the sporting arena through sponsorship of the annual Family Bank<br />
Eldoret Half Marathon to nurture young upcoming athletes. Since its launch in 2007, the Half Marathon has produced<br />
talented world beaters who have gone to win international marathons. In the year 2015 the Bank upped its investment<br />
to Ksh 10 Million towards this initiative that saw over 1000 athletes participate in the Eldoret Marathon. During the year,<br />
the Bank also sponsored golf at Eldoret Club, with the day dubbed, “Family Bank Golf Day”.<br />

Scholarship Fund” launched in 2012 continues to support bright but very needy children access quality education. The<br />
fund is currently sponsoring over 300 students in paying school and boarding fees. Early in the year the Bank teamed up<br />
with our associated Companies, Kenya Orient Insurance Limited and Daykio Plantations through the “The Family Bank<br />
Group Foundation” and donated Ksh20Million towards the Beyond Zero Campaign championed by the First Lady and<br />
participated in the First Lady Half Marathon. The Foundation is the philanthropic arm formed in partnership with Family<br />
Bank, Kenya Orient Insurance Ltd and Daykio Plantations Ltd.<br />
