ANNUAL <strong>REPORT</strong> AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015<br />

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 />

the Kshs 4.3 Million Children’s playground facility at<br />

the Kenyatta National Hospital.<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 />

Education<br />

· Family Bank appreciates the role played by education in the society and the Kenyan Economy at large. “The Education<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 />

· In 2015 we also supported Starehe Girls Centre during their fund-raising initiatives which included a Charity Golf event at<br />

Windsor Country Club.<br />
