Who is our customer
Greenland Fedha Limited (GFL) is a non-deposit taking microfinance institution fully owned by Kenya Tea Development Agency Holdings Limited (KTDA). Its core mandate is to provide affordable financial services, initially to small-scale tea farmers, and to increase access to financial services among the lower income and rural households in Kenya’s tea growing areas. GFL offers a range of loan products both for consumption and development. The company accepts green leaf as collateral for loans. The products have been segmented to suit different customer needs such as development loans, education loans and working capital/farm input loans. These are short-term products.
What is our funding objective?
The objective is twofold: i. To protect GFL staff from COVID-19 by providing Personal Protective Equipment for their safety. This will enable them to continue serving customers; ii. To protect KTDA's small scale tea farmers and their households through the support of income-generating activities that will enhance their livelihoods and income sources.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO is funding this project because GFL will expand the ongoing response of the KTDA Group by contributing towards the bigger goal of combating the spread of COVID-19. GFL foresees to retain 118,000 clients and bring in new ones.
