KARIBU was founded in 2009, with the vision of “transforming the provision of housing in Kenya by setting the standard for the development of affordable, thriving communities for hard working families.” The company was founded by two entrepreneurs, Irfan Keshavjee and Nick Gilodi-Johnson, who established the concept and were then joined by a third entrepreneur, Ravi Kohli.2 Together they set out to assemble a strong team of experienced professionals who shared the passion for delivering affordable housing using commercial solutions. Their core values included to bring affordable, safe, dignified housing as far down the income ladder as is commercially possible and using commercial disciplines and strategies to create social impact.
