ABOUT
Step & Fly was founded in 2010 and registered as an NGO in 2013
Step & Fly acts as a facilitator and sponsor to rural poor women in Kenya. The initiative facilitates groups of 10 women members are trained and advanced seed money as loan to start and run their own micro-loans
This ensures self reliance and a chance to step out of poverty
The average loan size ranges from $200-$700 which gives a boost to the
women who essentially could not afford any capital to begin running their business

Welfare programmes
Micro-loan


Step & Fly spots talented women in rural Kenya who are in poverty and advances each individual seed money as well as sharpens their business skills through training to ensure success in each of their business ventures. The all-women members co-guarantee each other to establish full payment of the loan advanced. These members do this because poor women lack collateral to secure a loan. The co-guarantee system ensures compliant to the business venture and repayment of the loan.
The program is such a success that women in the program actively refer other women in the community to join Step & Fly so much so that there is now a waiting list. Because of Step & Fly’s lack of resources, women who are not yet in the program, have to wait until those who are in program fully pay back their loan.
