Safaricom Foundation has launched a revolving fund targeting Kenyans with no access to micro-credit. The fund will be managed by two NGOs, Junior Achievement Kenya and Hand in Hand Eastern Africa, who will grow it into a revolving fund. They will train beneficiaries on entrepreneurship and business literacy, governance and savings, after which they will be eligible for micro loans.
