- Keep your promise, even if life goes unexpectedly
Education is expensive, but it's also non-negotiable. This Trust ensures that school fees, books, uniforms, and other learning costs are covered, no matter what the future holds. - You’re in control
You decide how the funds should be used, when they can be accessed, and under what conditions. We carry out those instructions to the letter. - No delays, no court battles
Unlike a will, your Education Trust doesn’t go through probate. That means your beneficiaries get access to funds without lengthy legal processes. - Professionally managed
Your Trust is managed by ICEA LION with support from licensed fund managers. That means expert investment of your funds and smart, long-term growth. - Affordable to start, simple to maintain
We charge a 1% annual service fee based on the value of the Trust. There’s no minimum amount to get started and no joining fees. - Protection from creditors
Funds in the Trust are shielded from debt claims, giving your family uninterrupted access to the resources you’ve set aside. - Tax benefits available
If your Trust supports charitable education goals, you may qualify for tax exemptions under Kenyan law.

- Cash or fixed deposits
- SACCO savings or investment group funds
- Retirement benefits
- Shares in companies—public or private
- Insurance pay-outs
- Bank accounts
- Land or buildings
