Self-help groups in Kilifi County, Kenya
Worth noticing
The foundation reports that 83% of its funded groups were still trading three years after receiving a grant.

Field notes

The foundation says it routes grants through open calls focused on one place for a set period, and favors groups with an existing record of collective saving, borrowing, and bookkeeping. Its three funding areas run from production inputs through processing and packaging to small-scale manufacturing. The homepage reports 214 grants since 2010 across 11 countries; these figures and its group-survival statistic are foundation-reported, not independently verified here.
