The Corporation contributes significantly to alternative livelihood support for peri-forest communities in the areas it operates in through employment creation for the local communities. The Corporation engages between 12,000 and 14,000 people daily as casual workers in its tea and tree plantations as well as the factories, thereby creating a strong partnership with local communities in its forest conservation efforts.
In this regard, the Corporation pays out more than Kshs. 600 million annually as remuneration for plantation labour provided by the peri-forest communities in buffer maintenance activities in its operations across the country. This has proved to be a significant contribution to the rural economy which has cushioned the local communities against extreme poverty and increased their resilience to the negative effects of climate change including poor nutrition.
To ensure sustainability through value addition, the Corporation has constructed two tea processing factories at Kipchabo in Nandi County and Gatitu in Kirinyaga County respectively. The two factories have created over 150 employment opportunities for the local youths mainly drawn from the factory catchment areas and impacted the local communities through infrastructure development, upgrade of social amenities and corporate social responsibility activities.
