    What our customers are saying about a initiatives?

    Before I joined the women's credit group, I was not aware of my abilities to lead and manage people. During the design of the loan product, I worked with women in my group. Then we were given the opportunity to suggest how we wanted to borrow the loans.

    Before I received this loan, I had a kiosk at my home. I had always longed to access a central business venue where I could have more customers and make better profits. With my initial loan of Ksh. 10,000 (U$100) I managed to move to the rural market space.
