One golf ball at a time, Suss Digital Africa continues to make a significant impact on communities across Kenya. Through its sponsorship of the ‘Swinging for a Cause’ golf tournament held on November 30th in Eldoret, the company not only helped raise awareness but also generated crucial funds for Olepaipai Home Care and Memory Care, a facility dedicated to providing compassionate care for the elderly and vulnerable individuals.
The golf tournament, which combined the excitement of sport with a meaningful social cause, brought together local golf enthusiasts, community leaders, and business figures, all united in their support for Olepaipai Home Care.
The event highlighted the urgent need for specialized elderly care services in Kenya, where traditional care for the elderly has historically been a family-based responsibility.
In a region where sending elderly relatives to a care facility can be a difficult decision for many families due to cultural expectations, the facility offers an essential and professional alternative.
Its skilled staff and comprehensive programs provide a safety net for those who require specialized, long-term care, ensuring that elderly individuals can receive the support they need in a dignified and compassionate environment.
As one of the primary sponsors of the tournament, Suss Digital Africa played a key role in ensuring its success. The funds raised from the event will directly benefit the facility, improving the quality of life for the residents who rely on the home’s services.
These funds will help enhance the daily care provided at the facility and support ongoing improvements to the home’s infrastructure, ensuring that it remains a safe and comfortable place for those who need it most.
“We are honored to be part of this incredible initiative. Supporting initiatives like these is a core part of our corporate social responsibility strategy, and we are proud to contribute to a cause that aligns with our values of compassion, care, and community,” says Dennis Maina, Managing Partner of Suss Digital Africa.
The tournament was more than just a day of golf; it was a celebration of the power of sport to create positive social change, demonstrating how a popular sport can be harnessed as a vehicle for philanthropy.
Through its CSR initiatives, Suss Digital Africa has shown that corporate responsibility goes beyond just achieving business goals. It’s about using the company’s resources, network, and influence to create tangible, positive change in society.
“We are committed to corporate social responsibility across Kenya, with a focus on making a tangible impact on communities through initiatives that support education, healthcare, and social welfare. We believe that businesses have a responsibility not only to drive profits but also to act as catalysts for positive societal change,” says Mr Maina.
The agency’s commitment to corporate social responsibility extends far beyond one-time events. The company has forged long-term partnerships with local organizations and charities, ensuring that its impact is sustainable and reaches a wide range of social causes.
With the belief that CSR is not just about donating money but about creating lasting relationships with organizations and communities, Suss Digital Africa is helping to build a foundation of support that can provide sustainable solutions to societal challenges.
This commitment ensures that the company’s work is not only felt in the short term but will continue to have a positive impact for years to come.
By focusing on causes like healthcare, education, and social welfare, the company sets an example for others in the corporate world, demonstrating that it is possible to make a difference without compromising on business goals.
Through its ongoing CSR efforts, Suss Digital Africa continues to be a driving force for change, proving that businesses can—and should—be part of the solution to the social challenges facing our world today.
“Business success should be measured not only in profit but also in the positive impact made on communities and the lives of individuals who need it most," he notes.
