Improving our group

'Maendeloe ya wanawake self help group' has touched the lives of it's members. This group comprising of five of which I am a member has grown big since it was started about five years ago. I remember sometimes back, I and other four women who were determined to achieve something in life collected our heads together and thought of how we were going to achieve. We came up with an idea of stating poultry farming since we had small farm to start with. We did not have funds, so we approached Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT) who gave us a loan that we used to start that entity. For sure after our sheer determination all the way our farm grew big and we started getting great profits. We used the proceeds to buy shares, start shops and venture in many investments. Our life has changed for sure.
