Our aim is to strengthen financial intermediaries in order to establish a strong, stable, market-based micro-finance sector in Kenya.
Today, and testimony to our quality of service delivery, our founder base has grown to include among others, Danida who have been supporting our Agriculture and Business Sector Programmes.
