13 groups get sh. 1.6 million UWEZO FUND loans in Thika, others to follow in next allotment.
Thirteen groups drawn from across Thika Town Constituency
yesterday received cheques worth Ksh. 1.6 million from the constituency’s UWEZO
FUND kitty to expand their businesses.
The beneficiaries were drawn from those groups that had
previously borrowed and successfully repaid their loans and had projects that
resonated well with the government’s BIG 4 AGENDA.
While speaking during the disbursement of these cheques,
area MP Eng. Patrick Wainaina said that the groups received amounts ranging
from Ksh. 100,000 and Ksh. 200,000.
He encouraged each of the groups to think around President Uhuru
Kenyatta’s BIG 4 AGENDA as this would guarantee them more opportunities for
growth and expansion.
Before the disbursement of these loans, the participants
underwent a rigorous training in financial management, value addition and on
the UWEZO FUND policies and procedures in order to equip them fully on what was
ahead of them.
