Activities in detail.
Savings groups
Table banking and merry-go-rounds are the backbone of our approach — low-barrier, peer-led and accountable.
Government fund linkage
We walk women through the paperwork to access Women Enterprise Fund and Uwezo Fund loans, closing the gap between eligibility and reality.
Enterprise training
Financial literacy, business planning and record keeping — delivered in Samburu and Kiswahili with examples from real local businesses.
Climate resilience
Water catchment, beadwork cooperatives and drought-tolerant livestock practices help groups withstand climate shocks.
