Through its community support programme, Kenya Shell Ltd. supports various health and community projects involving the sick, the disabled, the aged, orphans and other disadvantaged members of society.

This year Operation Smile Mission in Kenya was celebrating its 10th anniversary since its inception, of providing free reconstructive facial surgery for the children in Kenya, as well as in over 20 other countries around the world.   Kenya Shell has been among the three companies in Kenya who have supported the mission for 10 years.  Of the 10 years, Kenya Shell has managed to solicit funds from business associates and customers and received 'The Highest Sponsorship Raised Award' for four years in a row.

This year Kenya Shell managed to raise a total of Kshs.608,500/- being the second highest sponsorship raised amount for the event.   In the race categories, the Supa jiko team comprising of our customers from Bata emerged the winner of the relay race.    In addition, both of Shell teams; Shell Helix and BP Visco qualified for the finals.  

To date the Mission has provided free reconstructive surgery for cleft and palate deformities to over 2,500 children in Kenya - Changing lives one smile at a time!

In 2002, Kenya Shell Ltd launched the HIV/AIDS truck initiative that saw truck drivers being more proactive in the management of HIV/AIDS. There were 20 truck drivers who underwent a one-week workshop conducted by AMREF and graduated as peer counselors.

Choose Life Campaign was also launched targeting Shell employees and the Kenyan public at large. Posters were put up at the offices and in the retail sites country-wide.

Shell also supports AMREF projects in Kibera slum to help improve sanitation and living standards of the less fortunate slum dwellers. In this area, Shell has built one complete block of a toilet and bathroom.
