Mombasa has been growing\nrapidly over the years.  People are\nmoving into Mombasa to make it their home. The diverse residents have created\nan economy that is evolving toward a better Mombasa.  As the city is growing, new places are being\nbuilt and created and old places are renovated to accommodate the growing city.\nCompanies are now investing and creating better environment for Mombasa. One of\nthe companies is Mombasa Cement<\/a>,\nthey have embarked on a journey to beautify Mombasa and create better lives for\npeople. They have introduced various projects that have created an impact in\nthe society, such as painting school walls, and planting trees, also fixing and\npainting the iconic Tusks at Moi avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1958 as Venus\nMetal, the group has grown and risen to one of the region’s leading\nconstruction partner. Producing under the Nyumba Brand, they have dedicated\nthemselves to be a leader among their peers, a two-fold endeavour proven by\ntheir top-tier products and their numerous corporate social responsibility\nprograms in the region. Corporate citizenship, an award they recently won at\nthe 2018 Mombasa Business Awards, according to Investopedia<\/a>  \u201crefers to a company\u2019s responsibilities toward\nsociety. The goal is to produce higher standards of living and quality of life\nfor the communities that surround them.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has changed the\ncorporate citizenship game by their incalculable efforts to give back to the\ncommunities that have supported them since they started up in the late fifties.\nThese include: The beautification of Mombasa by repair of the iconic Mombasa\ntusks (Pembe za Ndovu) along Moi Avenue. The iconic tusks were built in 1952 to\ncelebrate Queen Elizabeth visit to Mombasa and have since become an\nunforgettable symbol associated with the coastal town. The project took over a\nmonth to touch up, repair and put on an ivory white paint coat on the iconic\ntusks. Another project undertaken was the building & repairing of school\nperimeter walls & other school structures, including construction repairs\nand roofing replacements. The Pantone Green Colourcot mabati<\/a> used form a\nbeautiful symmetry with the plants planted along the different school walls to\ncreate a beautiful symphony of colours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the beautification\nprojects, Mombasa Cement has other CSR projects that are assisting the\ncommunity in various ways. One of the projects, The Relief Water Distribution\nhas assisted residents of Banghala area and Ganahola area in Mikindani. The\nproject started in 2017 and sees over 200,000 litres of water a day provided to\nthe thousands of residents in the area. The distribution is done every Monday\nto Saturday between 8am to 5pm and with the assistance and coordination of the\nresidents in the community. Another project that has created an impact in\nMombasa is the feeding program near the railways. A small area has been\nallocated and built to provide an eating area safe from the elements for the\nhomeless and needy of Mombasa island. Food is delivered every day at lunch time\nand in the evening. The program feeds over 1000 people per day, giving the\nneedy a basic necessity as they go on with their day to day lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
