Testimonials

You know that mantra, "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime?" It's missing something: microfinance is the fishing rod, the boat, the net, etc.

Kenya

Case Studies - Introduction

We work in three areas in Kenya, with the WEEC programme, the Diocese of Thika and in Mt. Kenya East District. As of January 2008 we were serving 149 small enterprises and entrepreneurs. Here you can read some of the stories from these projects.

Mary

Mary-KenyaMary took a loan of £50 from the Thika Community Development Trust (Five Talents partner) to expand her range of fruit and vegetables. She now stocks the widest variety in the market and attracts many customers to her one-stop shop. Now she wants another loan to buy a new set of weighing scales. The increased profits from her business have been used to pay for her childrens' education.
