KENYA

The TOLI Kenya program is facilitated by our strategic partner, KCK Ministries, a holistic, Christ-centered ministry in Central Kenya. KCK uses the TOLI program to serve local families by facilitating savings groups, implementing small business education, and granting microloans for small businesses. They currently work in Tharaka-Nithi County in Central Kenya.

With a field staff of 13, reaching into 5 different communities, and serving more than 1,000 clients every month, the Kenya program is rapidly growing, and they share the hope of the Gospel all along the way.
