MAENDELEO HUB WOMEN MICROFINANCE FUND ​

Women work hard running small scale businesses selling vegetables, cereals, fabric, potato chips, assorted household goods and retail shops to support their families. However, they always lack access to capital to boost their businesses and the requisite training & skills to enable them to be resilient.  Riley Orton Foundation Org connects marginalized rural women to the resources they need to operate successful businesses and social enterprises in Kisumu, Kenya. 
Our entrepreneurship program trains rural women in table banking, business management, budget making and connects them to seed funding to improve their businesses. Through table banking, the women access microloans of $50 to $500 to operate their businesses.

We believe that empowering rural women to be able to fend for themselves and their families is key to eradicating poverty. Through ongoing training and support, the women gain skills to  establish flourishing small business enterprises through which they can pay school fees for their children, provide shelter ,food, clothing and healthcare. Economic empowerment of women around the lake region also leads to a reduction in the spread of HIV/AIDS as empowered women overcome exploitation by men through sex for fish, wife inheritance among other barriers that hold them back from succeeding in life.
