Micro-Finance

In a bid to strengthen the economic status of the communities, STIPA through the Community Based Health Financing and Life and Living Projects  introduced micro-credit in the

target areas which include  Songhor, Kamrongo, Maseno, Kadawa and GAWU Schemes with plans to roll-out to Miranga Scheme respectively in the near future.

The current micro-credit initiatives are meant to empower communities to explore new entrepreneurship opportunities in their areas and, strengthen the existing initiatives and mechanisms that facilitate the process of economic empowerment and independence without relying on handouts from relief agencies and political icons.

This initiative is delivered through sustainable savings and loaning system that ensures that the credits advanced are affordable to the communities with a flexible repayment plan besides detailed trainings that are to guide on profitable options of investment in Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Under this initiative, STIPA empowers all members of comm

unities who have gone through the attitude change process and are willing take control of their lives.  These include the  women, men and youth groups in the respective areas.
