Strategic Investment Goals
The long-term objective of the Grand Granite Diaspora Investment Co-Operative is to identify profitable projects to create wealth for its members. The board of directors and the management will accomplish this goal by conducting continuous research to find short and long-term opportunities.
The short-term investment projects will be incremental opportunities that may lead to long-term goals (directly or indirectly). The society has entered a few long-term projects in real estate such as investment in various land in Konza for speculative purposes valued at 30 million shillings. The society has a vision of gated housing projects/ property that fits the lifestyle of diaspora members. The gated community is ongoing which will be self-staining gated housing with suitable amenities. Future projects include water bottling headquartered in Kisii, Kenya. The committee together with the board tasked formed an exploration sub-committee to perform market research on possible profitable projects in line with the society’s investment goals, bylaws, CAP490 ACT, and with measurable risks.
Real Estate/Land Projects
The Investment Society has assisted members in speculative land projects. For example, members approved buying 24.5 acres of land in Malili and Konza region at the cost of 24 million shillings valued at over 30 million shillings. The three land types are under contract, one fully paid by members and the rest financed through the bank.
Gated Community Housing
The management board and the Investment Committees working with the Exploration sub-committee proposed to members to buy 48 acres of land in Malili to build a gated community home for members. The total cost of the land was 35 million shillings. Members approved the project, and it is under contract. Members approved the motion to fully fund the project in cash (Three installments’ contributions). The gated community housing is planned to include various amenities: Hotels and restaurants, a members’ supermarket, a park, recreational activities, and medical centers and proceeds will benefit the members.
Water Bottling projects
The Exploration Committee recommended a water bottling project in the Kisii region. The members discussed and approved the projects and to the society’s headquarters in Kisii. The project is estimated at 12 million shillings plus other logistic costs for the plant to operate. The cost will include a Borehole drilling cost, equipment, and machines. Members will be encouraged to contribute more money to prepare for the project. This is a long-term project slated for 2023 and forward.

Water Bottling Project
Members strongly feel that the water bottling project in the Kisii region will serve the local communities and give back to our community in education, create jobs, and provide highly needed services.
