More than 100 residents and business owners in Kalobeyei have opened savings and credit accounts to benefit from Kenya Bankers SACCO's financial services in Turkana West.
The SACCO has integrated its services into the ongoing Gava Mashinani initiative, a government-backed program aimed at decentralizing essential services to grassroots communities.
This partnership seeks to provide accessible and sustainable financial solutions that foster growth and development in underserved areas.
Hannah Njoroge, the Kenya Bankers SACCO Kakuma Manager, stated that Gava Mashinani has provided an effective platform for financial literacy and community sensitization. "We are ensuring that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and residents can conveniently address their key financial needs locally, without long travel or delays," Njoroge said.
