Richard said that KIOO Limited has been setting aside funds every year to give thanks to the community as part of its CSR program

He said that they have been receiving proposals for projects to sponsor from village leaders who have been getting feedback from their citizens about their priorities.

“We always listen to village leaders sit and talk with their citizens and agree on what the priorities are and then they come to us and we look at our capabilities and then we implement them,” he said, adding

“Therefore, all the projects that we are funding, including the gas supply at Vianzi secondary school, are projects that were initiated by the leaders themselves. We do not decide what to help them with, but they decide and bring us their suggestions,” said Richard.
