The Giriama Fund was founded in 2023 by Jonathan Eden. Having spent many years of his life visiting Kenya, Jonathan has deep roots and connections to the local communities.

Jonathan has made it his ambition to improve the quality of life for individuals living in Kenya and founded the Giriama Fund with a number of objectives; to advance religion, to advance education and to relieve poverty. Over the years, Johnathan has arranged for 7000 bibles to be translated into Giriama and distributed throughout the region. Jonathan has a particular interest in the unique history of Giriama, its culture and language.

Jonathan has also dedicated his time to conserving wildlife in Kenya. He was a trustee of the Eden Wildlife Trust until he retired and passed this role to his son Martin.
