Background
Since 2011, Action10, with the help of Human Rights & Science (HR&S) and Amani Women Group, has been engaging and empowering marginalized people in Kenya's remote villages through the table banking model, which improves access to investment capital. This ensures that people, especially the poor, participate in economic activities that benefit both the person and society. As a result, these individuals are better equipped to combat poverty, maintain financial stability, and run profitable businesses.
How participation in the Table Banking Programme changed Jesse's life
The story of Jesse Njugua, assistant secretary in our partner Amani Women Group, is one of the examples of what impact the table banking initiative had on the whole family’s life.
Has the table banking initiative in any way changed your life?
Yes, it has. It has changed my life. Before, when I got my money, I would spend it. I had no vision. When I got 200 shillings, I spent it and was left with no money. But when the idea came, I saw it was better, and I saw that I was using money. But from that idea, I listened to them, and I take something from them and put it in my mind.
This is a testimony that with the help from our donors and our partners we can truly make an impact. Action10 will continue working with its partners and strive to make an impact where needed. If you want to read more about Jesse's story, please visit Action10 through the link below.
