Corporate Social Responsibility

As a responsible corporate citizen, Jubilee gives back to the community by supporting social programs aimed at improving the society within which it operates.

Jubilee Children Fund

In commemoration of the seventieth anniversary, the Jubilee Children Fund was launched in 2007. The Fund will have a focused approach of alleviating the hardships faced by underprivileged children in the areas of education funding and medical care. The Fund has received tremendous support from Company’s employees who have agreed to donate one day’s salary per year towards financing its initiatives. Jubilee will in turn match their contribution and will, in addition, donate the profits from one day’s operations each year.

Jubilee Insurance Samaritan Award

Jubilee Insurance also upholds exemplary social responsibility through the Jubilee Insurance Samaritan Award.

The Jubilee Insurance Samaritan Award (JISA) was established in 2006. It seeks to reward outstanding deeds carried out by individuals in the humblest of professionals, and to encourage Kenyans to be mindful of the welfare of the less fortunate members of the society.

The JISA Panel is constituted of members from the Nation Media Group, the Royal Media, the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, The Standard Group, the Media Council of Kenya, the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication, and The People Daily.

Previous JISA winners include Daniel Kanee for rescuing a 3 year old child from under a matatu, Hannah Wanjiru for returning Kshs 1,000 that she found on her way to school, Tegla Lorupe for running a series of Peace Marathons in Kenya, Charles Mulli for being the founder of a Christian rehabilitation organization that has successfully rehabilitated 1,000 children and Bob Munro for being the founder of a youth sports and community development project in Mathare.
