Build Wealth

Who We Serve
Women
Women
Women in Kenya save, contribute, and hold communities together financially — often without the literacy or access to make their money work harder for them. Our programmes for women go beyond budgeting into investment readiness, asset protection, and long-term wealth planning. Whether you are managing a household, running a small business, or sitting on a chama committee with more potential than products — this is for you.
Chamas & Community Investment Groups
Chamas & Community Investment Groups
Chamas are Kenya’s most powerful informal financial institution. The problem is not discipline or commitment — it is the gap between saving together and investing together. Mshipa’s chama programmes bridge that gap. We work with registered chamas ready to move from merry-go-rounds into formal investment
vehicles. And we make sure the governance structures are strong enough to hold it all together when
the amounts get serious.
Farmers & Agribusiness Operators
Farmers & Agribusiness Operators
Farming is a business. Most smallholder farmers in Kenya are not treated like businesspeople — by banks, by buyers, or by financial education programmes. Mshipa changes that. We deliver financial literacy grounded in agricultural realities: seasonal income, input costs, off-season cash flow, and the path from subsistence to surplus.

Wealth Readiness
Wealth Readiness
Before you can build wealth, you need to understand what you already have — and what is working against you. Wealth Readiness covers budgeting, tracking income and expenses, understanding debt, and building the habits that make every other financial skill possible. This is the entry point for everyone. You do not need to earn more to start — you need to see more clearly.

Wealth Safeguarding
Wealth Safeguarding
Building wealth is one challenge. Keeping it is another. Wealth Safeguarding covers insurance basics, succession planning, understanding beneficiary designations, protecting assets from predatory lending, and the legal structures that keep what you build in your name. This module is particularly important for women, chamas with significant pooled assets, and farmers with land and equipment. Because the greatest financial risk for many Kenyans is not a bad investment — it is having no plan when something goes wrong.

Saving & Investment Literacy
Saving & Investment Literacy
From M-Pesa savings to unit trusts, money market funds, bonds, and beyond — we break down every major savings and investment vehicle available to ordinary Kenyans. No jargon. No sales pitch. Just an honest picture of what exists, what it costs, and what it actually returns. Participants leave knowing the difference between a fixed deposit and a money market fund — and why that difference matters to their specific situation.

Agri-Finance & Rural Business Management
Agri-Finance & Rural Business Management
Built specifically for farmers and rural business operators. Covers seasonal cash flow planning, input financing, market linkages, accessing credit without collateral, and the basics of record-keeping for an agricultural business. We do not teach theory. We teach how to manage money when your income arrives twice a year and your costs arrive every month.

Chama Governance & Group Investment
Chama Governance & Group Investment
Strong chamas are run like businesses. We train groups on constitutions, record-keeping, financial controls, decision-making structures, and the governance frameworks that protect pooled capital when the amounts get serious. We also cover how to evaluate financial products as a group, how to negotiate with providers, and how to hold each other accountable without destroying the relationship.
