Jijenge Community Finance

Traditional Chamas Face Critical Challenges

Despite managing KSH 300 billion in assets, Chamas struggle with systemic issues that limit their potential

Exploitative Loan Sharks

Most informal Chamas are controlled by local loan sharks charging 30% p.a. with collateral seizure, or 20% with family guarantors, trapping members in debt cycles.

Lack of Formal Regulation

Absence of regulatory oversight leaves members vulnerable to fraud, mismanagement, and unresolved disputes with no legal recourse.

Governance Issues

Without transparent rules and procedures, Chamas struggle with decision-making conflicts regarding investments, fund management, and profit-sharing.

Limited Financial Access

Chamas face barriers accessing formal financial services like loans, savings accounts, and investment products, hindering growth and portfolio expansion.

Sustainability Concerns

Poor financial planning and management practices put Chamas at risk of dissolution or financial collapse, destroying members' savings and trust.
