Two years ago, a group of young men on Kisma 2 had skills but no capital and no plan. Today they run a small engine-repair enterprise and a savings group that is beginning to fund itself.
What changed
Seed funding mattered. But the turning point was structure — a savings and loan group that built the habits and trust to reinvest their own earnings.
“We are not waiting for someone to rescue us anymore. We are building something our families can lean on.”
The bigger picture
Enterprises like this do two things at once: they give youth dignified income, and they begin to finance the ministry’s own work — a community that increasingly funds its own next step.
