Kansai plascon awards 15 painters Sh 50,000 Each in School fees support programme

Kansai Plascon Kenya has awarded 15 painters KSh 50,000 each under its 2025 Shinda School Fees Support Programme, reinforcing its commitment to supporting painters’ livelihoods and easing the education burden on their families.
The initiative, which has a total education support value of Sh 750,000, is part of Kansai Plascon’s targeted corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts aimed at uplifting painters beyond the job site. Implemented in collaboration with Muthokinju Paints and Cement, the programme attracted strong participation from painters across the country.

Under the scheme, selected painters are receiving direct financial support to help pay school fees for their children, a move the company says recognises the central role painters play as breadwinners and caregivers within their families. Kansai Plascon Kenya is currently undertaking the felicitation of the winners in different regions nationwide.

Speaking on the initiative, Kansai Plascon Kenya Managing Director Kota Enami said the programme was informed by a deep understanding of the challenges faced by painters.

“Painters are not only skilled professionals — they are parents, guardians, and breadwinners. Through the Shinda School Fees Support Programme, we are supporting education within the painting community and standing with families where it matters most,” said Enami.

He added that investing in education aligns with the company’s long-term vision for the industry and the communities it serves.

“Supporting education is an investment in the future — not just for families, but for the industry as a whole. We are proud of the response this programme has received and the impact it continues to make across the country,” he said.

The Shinda School Fees Support Programme forms part of Kansai Plascon Kenya’s broader CSR agenda, which focuses on education, community impact, and building sustainable partnerships with the painting trade.

Kansai Plascon Kenya is a leading manufacturer of decorative and industrial paint solutions serving residential, commercial, and industrial markets. The company is part of the Kansai Paint Group and is committed to innovation, quality, and empowering the communities that help build and transform Kenya’s spaces.
