This business is a member of Naretoi Women Group. Group lending, also
known as solidarity lending, is a mechanism that allows a number of
individuals to provide collateral or guarantee a loan through a group
repayment pledge. The incentive to repay is based on peer pressure; if
one person in the group defaults, the other group members make up the
payment amount. - Kiva Staff

Entrepreneur: Grace Ngima Tutuma
Location: Olturoto, Kajiado District, Kenya

Grace would like to express her heart felt gratitude to all those people who have financed her business. She bought 10 steers as planned and these will be fattened to be sold in a few months.

Grace also has a stone quarry which brings in daily income to support the family. Her experience in handling money as the treasurer of her group, has assisted her to balance her books and that’s one of the reasons why her business is growing steadily.
