Poverty Reduction and Wealth Creation, through provision of microfinance services and promotion of entrepreneurship;
- Fighting Poverty with Micro-Finance: In line with our poverty reduction efforts, we have established a partnership with the local communities in Bondo District in western Kenya, where we run financial services associations – known informally as “village banks”. This programme provides financial services to over 7000 households, which are able to save and take loans for businesses.
-
Nurturing Compassionate Entrepreneurs to Create Wealth for all: In partnership with J9 Foundation in USA, we are nurturing what is emerging as a movement of compassionate entrepreneurs. We train young men and women using an Expanded Curriculum on Entrepreneurship. We give them loans with which they start or improve their businesses, and, we work with them to mentor them and incubate their businesses. They strive to be successful entrepreneurs and contribute a portion of their wealth to societal development.
