Kinondo Kwetus charm is much thanks to its surrounding community and Kinondo village, where many of the employees are based. Having a respectful interaction with society is of great importance to Kinondo and its guests. That is why one has established Kinondo Kwetu Fund, whose main purpose is to provide healthcare to the villagers and support the education of children. The fund sponsors school fees for students in high school. The fund is currently setting up a computer training center for the education of children and adults.
Kinondo Kwetu Clinic started its operation back in November 2008. It offers basic healthcare at a very low cost, a cost that is waived for those who can not afford it. Since its inception, the clinic has been well-known for its good work for HIV and TB patients, as well as for its laboratory.
