Empower marginalized women and men in rural Kenya

Background

Since 2011, Action10, with the help of Human Rights & Science (HR&S), 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.

Project update

For Action10 and HR&S, managing stakeholder relationships is of the utmost importance, and we constantly aim to be a trust-worthy and capable partner. Three of these are the Target Partners we work with, the donors, as well as international and national implementing partners.

• From the point of view of the Target Partner we build the collaboration programme on the ambition of our partner, on their their challenges and on their network and understanding of the local situation. 
• From the point of view of the investors we work with risk/return & impact ratios. Investors need to know that the funds and effort they contributed with is well managed so that money is not lost and sustainable impact is ensured. Thus, HR&S is developing tools for risk assessment and risk mitigation.
• HR&S offers the service of both the international and national implementing partners; HR&S HQ together with Action10 operates as the international implementing partners and HR&S Country branches operates as the national implementing partners.

We empower every key stakeholder; through our development programmes, our target partners in lower income countries and our investors, as well as the international and the national implementing partners.
