Abdalla's story
Abdalla, a seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for community development, has a long history of involvement in health and sanitation initiatives. Seeking to expand his impact, he discovered the Jibu Franchising business model. Jibu offers the unique opportunity to own and operate a water distribution franchise while providing the community with safe drinking water at an affordable price. This perfectly aligned with Abdalla's desire to merge business success with social impact.
Following a rigorous screening process, Abdalla was selected as a Jibu franchisee. He will be operating in Nairobi's South area, bringing a much-needed solution: clean and affordable water for residents.
This loan will directly fund the construction of a franchise shop within a residential area. Additionally, it will establish water pick-up and distribution points conveniently located around the shop. This ensures residents can easily access safe drinking water within walking distance of their homes.
