Amongst the most impressive qualifications that guaranteed Mr. Kuria as Enwealth’s Board Chair was a shared value system for social outreach. Currently, Enwealth Financial Services has cumulatively supported close 50 orphans through the high school support programme and plans to push this number upwards to 200 by 2020.
