Our programs
Income Generation & Social Economy
Breaking the cycle of poverty through savings, credit, and enterprise that build self-reliance.
The challenge
Why this work matters
Economic poverty is rarely about individual failure. Socio-economic barriers trap families in a cycle of poverty.
To create a world without hunger where people live in harmony, we pursue economic empowerment, helping families move from aid to self-reliance through solidarity and cooperation.
What we do
Our focus on the ground
Umbrella & Project SACCOs
Our Wezesha Majirani Umbrella SACCO and Project SACCOs in each programme area widen financial access, letting members borrow against their savings with guarantors.
Loan management & digital finance
We provide internal policies and a customised micro-finance web system, and monitor cashless loan disbursement and repayment via M-PESA.
Building a savings culture
We encourage SME entrepreneurs to save, creating healthy competition for top savers to qualify for larger loans.
From the field
Wezesha Majirani: enabling neighbours
In 2021 Kenya Good Neighbors centralised the way Income Generation funds are managed, linking savings groups to data and evidence.
Through the Umbrella SACCO, sponsored children’s parents and the wider community now have a real path to self-reliance and economic empowerment built on solidarity and cooperation.
