Roots to Revenue: Basic financial literacy in Kilome, Makueni County

At Spring Agric, we believe that true empowerment begins with intentional inclusion. In this video, join our team in Zeveni, Makueni County (Kilome) as we host a specialized financial literacy training for 72 women farmers—and 38 children! Providing dedicated, child-friendly spaces was a deliberate choice: caregiving responsibilities should never prevent women from accessing economic opportunities and building thriving agribusinesses. 💡 Key Takeaways Covered in This Video: 📍 Overcoming Barriers to Credit & Loans • Decision-Making Autonomy: Addressing the challenges women face when financial choices depend on spousal concurrence. • Overcoming Loan Fear: Demystifying credit and breaking down fears caused by aggressive asset recovery practices. 📍 Budgeting with Purpose, Ownership & Agency • Your Loan, Your Plan: Why taking a loan or chama credit must be backed by a clear business plan—and why diverting funds leads to default. • Operational Feasibility: Ensuring farmers retain full control over marketing and selling their yield (crops & livestock). • Setting Financial Boundaries: Protecting investment capital while balancing family, church, and community obligations. 📍 Community Growth & Sustainable Futures Local leadership joins us to share a unified vision: adopting modern farming practices, lifting households out of poverty, and strengthening food and financial security across the region. This session is the first step in Spring Agric's mission to empower over 4,000 women and youth across the region! 🚀 🚀 Take Your Agribusiness to the Next Level!
