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 — it is driven by socio-economic barriers that 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.
