HOW ZIYA IS HELPING WOMEN GROW THEIR SMALL BUSINESSES | BENEFICIARY STORY – MANYATTA, LIKONI

Access to capital remains one of the biggest barriers facing women operating small-scale businesses. Yet, with the right financial support, even a modest amount can become the starting point for economic progress. In this beneficiary testimonial from Manyatta, Likoni, a ZIYA member shares her experience accessing interest-free capital, starting small and gradually growing her business. She explains how ZIYA's model, including accessible financing and daily repayments, has helped her pursue her entrepreneurial ambitions. Having started with KSh 2,000 and subsequently grown her allocation to KSh 4,000, she encourages other women to embrace business opportunities and take steps towards improving their livelihoods. At ZIYA, we are simplifying access to capital by leveraging trusted community groups and making financing more accessible to underserved entrepreneurs. ZIYA – Making capital accessible. Empowering communities. Enabling progress.
