Trustee: The Turning Point Trust

,


Overview

Why are you interested in becoming a Trustee?
We have been helping families get on their feet by providing interest free loans starting at Kshs 2,000/= (23 Us dollar) to start-up small businesses that will help them generate income and allow them take their children to school, buy food and clothes for the family. We have reached a point where we can't support all families as we would want, this is due to lack of enough resources We currently support more than 300 families.
What is the mission of your organization?
Turning Point is a Christian charity working in the Kibera slums. Our mission is to demonstrate God's heart for the poor through programmes that relieve poverty, restore hope and transform lives amongst vulnerable children and their families.

Borrower Due Diligence

How will you decide who to endorse as a borrower? What due diligence will you conduct?
In kibera we have about 9 micro-finance institutions and 4 banks, but their requirements are so high that the poor slum dwellers cannot access their services. At Turning Point we work with the people who are left out in this bracket, people who don't have collateral's. The loans will be given to the people in businesses and those who have business plans and want to start-up new businesses.
