Emmanuel Temba, the Manager of Biring’a Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania speaks with pride of his endeavor.

Listen to our clients:

Oile Mitumba Self Help Group

An astute and innovative way for ECLOF to support farmers in Uganda

Business: Farming

Location: Uganda

ECLOF International’s role involves reaching out to the remotest rural households to offer financial and business development services to marginalized social groups.

ECLOF Uganda has found an astute and innovative way to perform this task through the “warehouse receipt system”, thus promoting sustainable human development to farmers in Uganda.

 

What is it?

Oile Mitumba Self Help Group

Client: Jane Liech

Business: Second-hand clothing trade

Location: Kenya

Gender: Woman

“I broke with tradition”, says Jane Liech, the leader of Oile Mitumba Self Help Group in Kenya. Tradition often accepts practices such as wife-beating, wife-inheritance and early marriage which can be a great impediment to the well-being of women.

Oile Mitumba Self Help Group brings together 18 women who felt that they could more successfully tackle the challenges of life in rural Kenya together as a group.  The group joined ECLOF Kenya’s program in November 2005.
