The Equity Group
Foundation was established in 2006 in recognition of the need to scale
up the existing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of the
Equity Bank Group.
The Foundation acts as the institutional home for the Group’s social initiatives and interventions.
The Foundation’s aim is to catalyze the socio-economic prosperity of the people of Africa by giving opportunity to the millions at the bottom of the pyramid to be incorporated into the modern economy.
Having demonstrated scal.ability, impact and high return on investment, the Foundation has started attracting organizations and development partners who wish to do good to society without duplicating and/or investing in infrastructure. This is by leveraging on the Equity Bank Group’s infrastructure.
The Foundation recognizes the diverse nature of the socio-economic needs of the people of Africa and has identified six program areas on which it lays its emphasis.
These are: Education and leadership development, agriculture, entrepreneurship, health, innovation and environmental sustainability.
These program areas support the Foundation in realizing its vision and mission.
Vision: To champion the social and economic transformation of the people of Africa.
Mission: We champion the transformation of lives and livelihoods through development and implementation of innovative programs that leverage existing infrastructure and link partners to the bottom of the pyramid.
