Woman's Hope

Changing lifes with Micro Finance

Mwangeli  Mwatheka  

Mwangeli is a single mother of four children. Before she got a loan from Woman’s hope, she was jobless. Feeding her four children was a big challenge. They slept hungry now and then. Her life has changed now. She started a small kiosk of selling different types of vegetables.  With determination to make a change, she wakes up very early on the morning every day to get fresh vegetables from the market.

She uses her income to add stock to her kiosk and to re-pay her loan. She hopes to secure more loan to extend her business.

Grace Wanjiku

Grace is an aged woman who lives alone in Kuwinda slums. She was involved in an accident during the post election violence.  Both her legs were injured. She walks with a support of a crutch. She had no means of survival before until she heard about micro-finance.  She took a loan and started a business of selling   Mukimo and samosas. She does her cooking in her house and sell them around the slum.

This business has helped her to be independent as she doesn’t have anyone to depend on. She is among the women who have already repaid their loan.  She has taken a course in bakery and with her skills her dream is to take a bigger loan and open her own bakery.
