Lazizi Welfare Foundation is a registered non-profit organisation and the dedicated social impact arm of The
Crowne Plaza Nairobi Airport, The Ritz-Carlton Masai Mara Safari Camp, and JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge. The Foundation channels the collective commitment of these properties, together with their guests and partners,
into initiatives that uplift underserved communities across Kenya through sustainable, long-term impact.
Guided by four core pillars – Education, Healthcare, Conservation, and Community Empowerment – we work in close collaboration with local communities, corporate partners, and development organisations to deliver
meaningful and measurable change.

Based in the heart of the Masai Mara, our programmes span a wide range of community and environmental initiatives, from rebuilding schools and improving access to clean water, to promoting sustainable agriculture and wildlife conservation. Through signature initiatives such as Eco-Innovators and our Apprenticeship Programme, we transform waste into opportunity, nurture young talent, and advance gender equality.
All donations and proceeds from partnerships directly fund the Foundation’s CSR portfolio, ensuring that every contribution supports resilient communities, protects Kenya’s natural heritage, and helps build a sustainable future for generations to come. Rooted in the Masai Mara and expanding nationwide, Lazizi Welfare Foundation transforms business purpose into social progress – empowering communities, preserving nature, and creating lasting impact across Kenya.
Education liberates the intellect, unlocks imagination, and builds the foundation for self-respect.
Protecting nature is central to our purpose and long-term sustainability vision.
