The Sun N Sand Trust was formed in 2006 by the Sun N Sand Beach Resort to promote responsible tourism and enhance the quality of life of the local community. Some of the Trust's objectives include establishing education and health centers, assisting children with education and healthcare needs, and creating an enabling environment for sustainable development. Before the Trust was formed, the Resort had initiated several community projects, including a place of worship, a pre-primary school, and a primary healthcare center that has benefited over 20,000 patients. The Trust continues to support education and healthcare initiatives in the local area.

One of the objectives of the SUN N SAND
TRUST is to help educate young children
in the area through the Government run
Kikambala Primary School, which has
over 2000 students.
The SUN N SAND TRUST facilitates
donations in cash or kind, from generous
Resort guests in the form of school supplies,
furnishings, classrooms, uniforms, lunch,
secondary education sponsorships etc.

Education is not, and the SUN N SAND TRUST
facilitates funding for these purposes too.
E- School Lab
SUN N SAND BEACH RESORT partnered with
Nepad (New Partnership for African
Development) and the Microsoft Consortium
to build and equip a Computer Lab, which
was officially opened by The President of
Kenya, Hon. Mwai Kibaki on 30th June, 2006.
Now Kikambala Primary School is the first
Primary School on the Continent of Africa to
have e-learning facilities that include VSAT
Internet Connection, 27 networked
Computers and a Smart Board which acts like
a touch-screen blackboard.
This facility is aimed at equipping students and
teachers with relevant computer skills as well
as enabling the school to carry out interactive
learning activities with other schools that share
the same network.
Eco-Tourism
This project started in 1996 when a mother
turtle crawled on the Kikambala Beach and
laid eggs.
To-date over 700 turtles have been hatched
on the Resort’s Beach and released into
the sea.
The resort is also actively involved with the
annual ICC (International Coastal
Clean-Up exercise) and Marine
Environment Day.
