Emmanuel Temba, the Manager of Biring’a Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania speaks with pride of his endeavor. And indeed, the school complex that we’ve spotted on our way to his office really deserves one’s admiration. Biring’a School is a real haven for learning and welcomes children from Tanzania and neighboring East African countries.
When Emmanuel opened the
school in 2006, he relied on a first loan from ECLOF Tanzania of TZS 7,000,000 (USD 4,760) to build essential facilities and buy several beds for boarding students.

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.
