Empowerment....It looks like calloused hands, shared savings, clean water, and plans that don't wait for luck.
This is what real change looks like--one village, one idea, one action at a time.

In Kanyamfwa Village, the Cereal A Group just completed their second share-out — saving over KSh 178,970 and earning KSh 63,225 in table banking interest.�Their cereal sales brought an additional KSh 55,200 in profit — and what did they decide to do? Reinvest it.

More stock, more savings, more growth.

This is how CHECs build independence — one savings circle, one season, one decision at a time. 🌾
