Partner Description:

Clecam Ejoheza Plc was founded as a cooperative in 2007 by rural farmers based in southern part of Rwanda. They have since transformed into a privately owned microfinance while still maintaining the spirit of member participation. The organization provides financial and non-financial services to it's members who largely operate across various agricultural value chains.


A unique lending approach:

Kiva loans will be used to scale up their lending in the agriculture sector through the group and individual lending model. This will further advance their rural financial inclusion goals with a special focus on women and youth.
