CECILIA THE FISHMONGER 

When Cecilia took over the family fishmongers from her ailing mother, the local banks weren’t biting on her investment plans. But luckily, our local partner, SMEP in Kenya stepped in to offer her the safety net of a responsible and practical business loan.

Now instead of a life of debt and worry, Cecilia can look forward to a life of hope and opportunity. People invest in Oikocredit knowing that their money will help support not just Cecilia, but millions of hardworking people in the fast-developing world. We’re confident entrepreneurs like Cecilia will make every penny count.
