Triad Architects has this year lined up a series of activities to mark 50 years of excellence since its inception in 1963. Among the activities was a Charity Golf Tournament at the Muthaiga Golf Club.

The event which attracted over 100 golfers was aimed at raising 5 million Kenya shillings to support Gertrude’s children hospital and Muthaiga primary school within their community.

The Golf Tournament brought together over 60 sponsors mostly companies in the IT and construction industry. It marked one of the firm’s major Corporate Social Responsibility projects in its 50 years of existence.

Triad Architects not only prides itselffor high quality assurance of design and architectural services. Their portfolio in the past 50 years has offered comprehensive solutions to clients and adapts to their individual systems and requirements.

Promoting proper healthcare and education for all

Triad has been involved in several projects as part of its corporate social responsibility to its community and at the beginning of this year through its just ended CSR golf tournament its main focus was on health and education.

Gertrude’s Chidren’s Hospital is a non-profit organization, chartered with responsibilities benefiting humankind such as providing health services, fostering good health, carrying out research and teaching healthcare professionals. The hospital board and management share the belief that hospitals can apply business acumen and enterprise in performing their responsibilities.

Triad Architects chose Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital as their target for the foundation due to the fact that it’s within its vicinity. The proceeds will be used to support children from needy backgrounds who can’t afford medical attention at the facility.

Triad is also at the forefront when it comes to ensuring that pupils within their community benefit from its foundation. Its target this year was the Muthaiga Primary School and like many other public schools in Kenya, the school is facing several challenges ranging from poor infrastructure and inadequate funds.

The proceeds will be used to develop and renovate the school.
