Celebratory events to mark Founders Day have been held around the Group as was the tradition before the pandemic with this years' theme being tree planting. D&S Head Office marked the occasion with a fun day of activities including a nature walk and games at Karura Forest where a tree planting session was carried out by children of staff.

D&S has a long history with Karura, having initially provided support and equipment including a borehole and irrigation system for the Amani Garden which also hosts the Westgate Memorial, the forest now having the distinction of being the Country's most popular public space. Meanwhile Kenya's major branch clusters, Eastern, Western and Coast held events at Kilimambogo Forest, Mau Forest and Watamu respectively. D&S Zambia made a donation at Nyumba Yanga Children’s home and D&S Tanzania went to Sarah House Children’s Home. D&S Uganda made a donation to Wakisa Ministries Children’s Home while D&S Rwanda planted trees at Green Park.
