'...this Kenyan women group managed to pool together towards accomplishing a big project that would have been, in the eyes of many, unbelievable.'
It is widely said that iron sharpens iron. This can said and agreed on a Kenyan women group who pooled their cash to put up an apartment with at least 100 rooms and are now landlords.
The Murang’a County Women SACCO, as the cooperative group is known, basically decided not to tow the line and do the unusual. In most cases, such groups are related with making some small contributions to enhance the welfare of its members. It is with such small contributions that this Kenyan women group managed to pool together towards accomplishing a big project that would have been, in the eyes of many, unbelievable.
Instead of sharing the contributions, this Kenyan women group opted to deny themselves and bought a land, and did the 5-storey apartment with more than 100 rooms which will be hosting students from the neighboring colleges and universities. This, however, didn’t come easily especially with lots of social and cultural difficulties that literally threatened to stall the project at many instances.
The now six-years-old Kenyan women group is also funding founded and run by women within the community.The completion of the project marked the opening of other opportunities as the women can now venture into other investments backed up with improved credit worthiness that can afford them even better and bigger financing from banks as well as Credit Cooperative Organizations, commonly referred to in Kenya as SACCOs.
