Project Description
The project is a micro finance project which was started in 2005 as a self-help group for 7 women running small quarry businesses in Nairobi. The lending services were officially separated from the Self-Help Group with the formation of the Credit and Savings society in mid 2008, at which point they had only 12 members.
By February 2009, it was officially recognized by the government of Kenya as a Savings and Credit Co-Operative (SACCO), and by June 2009 it has registered over 5000 members.
The project is very successful in the current market. Recruiting new members and deepening relationships with current clients is not an area of need. It is seeking support most of all to find ways to allow their operations to meet the seemingly endless demand.
To achieve this, the areas of operation that will require the most expansion include investments (of funds to use as loans), staff and staff training, equipment and technology, and policy improvement.
