The CEO of Women Enterprise Fund (WEF), Rachael Musyoki, alongside Board Member Yvonne Tonkei, visited the Salem Sisters Self-Help Group in Kamukunji Constituency yesterday. The group, which specializes in producing uniforms and assorted textiles, recently received their first loan of Kshs. 100,000 under the relaunched WEF Tuinuke Loan program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanying the CEO were key members of the WEF team, including Ms. Everlyne Lusweti, Manager of Marketing, Research, and Communication; Ms. Anne Muturi, Nairobi Region Credit Coordinator; and Mr. Karani, Credit Assistant for Kamukunji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, the WEF team paid a courtesy call to the Deputy County Commissioner\u2019s office, where they were warmly received by Assistant County Commissioner Mr. Steve Mwonge. This visit highlighted WEF\u2019s commitment to collaborating with local administration to enhance service delivery and extend its reach to women across the constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Women Enterprise Fund resumed its lending services to registered women groups in December 2024, offering loans ranging from Kshs. 100,000 to Kshs. 750,000. These interest-free loans come with only a 6% administrative fee, making them accessible and affordable for women\u2019s groups looking to grow their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her remarks, CEO Rachael Musyoki emphasized the Fund\u2019s dedication to empowering women and fostering economic growth through financial inclusion. \u201cWe encourage all registered women groups to visit our offices in every constituency, located within ACC\/DCC grounds, to learn more about these transformative loans and how they can benefit their ventures,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit to Salem Sisters Self-Help Group exemplifies WEF\u2019s ongoing efforts to uplift women entrepreneurs, enabling them to expand their businesses and contribute meaningfully to Kenya\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with partners such as the Uwezo Fund, National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), and other stakeholders, the Women Enterprise Fund continues to drive impactful change, ensuring women across the country have access to the resources they need to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information on how to access WEF loans, women groups are encouraged to engage with their local WEF representatives and take advantage of this life-changing initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
