Customer reviews
Meet Francis Kuria – A Proud Member & Regional Ambassador!
“My name is Francis Kuria from Murang’a County, and I’ve been a proud member of Ruiru Catholic Self-Help Group (S.H.G) since 2014.
Thanks to the support from the group, I’ve achieved life-changing goals — from educating my children to buying and developing a plot of land. The journey has been truly rewarding.
Because of the impact the SHG has had on my life and community, I was honored to be appointed as the Regional Ambassador. Today, we have 12 active groups with over 350 members, and we’ve collectively contributed nearly KES 20 million to the fund!
