In a notable event at the Kenya Junior Strokeplay Championship, ICEA
LION Trust Company, the Trust business arm of the ICEA LION Group announced a partnership with the Junior
Golf Foundation at Muthaiga Golf Club.
This partnership is in line with our commitment to supporting the growth of
golf amongst the youth. This initiative marks an industry-first move into junior golf sponsorship by an Insurance Group
in Kenya, positioning ICEA LION as the pioneering Insurance Group to support junior golf.

excel both on and off the green. We are setting the foundation for a future where sports can be a viable path for personal
and professional development.”

Junior Golf Foundation is a strategic move towards contributing significantly to the development of golf in Kenya. It
represents our investment in the future – not just in sports, but in cultivating discipline, focus, and resilience among
young Kenyans. Our support to the Junior Golf Foundation is indeed in line with the ICEA LION Trust Company
vision to deliver sustainable success for the future.’’

partnership is a significant milestone in our mission to grow the sport of golf in Kenya. It enables us to reach more
aspiring young golfers and provides them with the resources and platforms they need to succeed.”
