Education being a vital role in the development of our economy has effectively been boosted through our CSR initiatives towards the neighbouring communities.

The company also sponsors two secondary schools, two primary schools and two nursery schools situated within the company premises. (Nzoia Girls’ Secondary School, Nzoia Industrial Boys’ Secondary School, Nzoia Primary, Nzoia Industrial Primary, Nzoia & Industrial Nursery Schools). The institutions have been critical in producing energetic personalities that have been sought after by NSC and other organizations due to their professional competence after completion of higher education.
This education support program according to the Company management has played a key role in cementing the working relations between the organization and the neighbouring community. The community has on its part stated its stand to work harmoniously with the Company, ensure it realizes its goals, and boost education standards by providing the much needed education facilities.
