Creating a better future

Our Story

the depth of the foundation.

SVF stands and is rooted in a deep commitment to conservation and community service. Sandy and Chani were visionaries, conservationists and pioneers of Kenya’s hospitality industry. Their mission was simply to improve lives.

From humble beginnings, Chani was a man who innately believed in the power of will and we all grew up believing in a world of possibility. The heart of his essence spoke to driving change and progression. He educated youth, spent one afternoon a week distributing shoes to those in need, planted thousands of trees all over Kenya, involved himself in the movement to save elephants and donated generously to the Spinal Injury hospital and Paraplegic Centre. He had enormous pride in the work of his son Sandy.

Sandy loved life to blend with Mother Nature and had many dreams to beautify and preserve the environs of Nairobi. He instituted the CBD (Central Business District) with a mission to revive, clean and light up the city centre and preserve its’ history and heritage. Sandy initiated the planting of 10,000 trees in Nakuru National Park and the Cycle with Rhinos project in Nakuru National Park. The project was supported through Sarova Lion Hill Lodge in partnership with KWS to protect and create awareness on the endangered species. The untimely passing of this beautiful soul led to the establishment of this Foundation.

SVF continues their legacy, honouring their vision for a better world.
