Dr. Hezekiah Kariuki: Building Homes, Building Hope Through Comfort Homes Foundation

By John Kariuki
Dr. Hezekiah Kariuki Mwangi, CEO of Comfort Homes, is championing a bold vision of corporate responsibility through the Comfort Homes Foundation—an initiative delivering real impact in communities across Kenya.
As the CSR arm of Comfort Homes, the foundation focuses on education, health, shelter, and environmental sustainability. Under Dr. Kariuki’s leadership, it has grown into a vehicle for lasting change, supporting school programs, clean water access, sanitation drives, and environmental conservation.
“Our philosophy is simple,” Dr. Kariuki says. “As we build homes, we must also build hope.”
Beyond funding, the foundation mobilizes employees and clients alike, embedding volunteerism and community engagement into the company’s DNA.
Dr. Kariuki believes giving back isn’t charity—it’s leadership. “Business success must go hand in hand with social investment,” he says. “We rise by lifting others.”
From supporting vulnerable families to improving local infrastructure, the Comfort Homes Foundation continues to expand its footprint, proving that profit and purpose can coexist.
