Fortune Credit Brings Inclusive Financial Services to Illeret, Marsabit County

At Fortune Credit, our mission is to provide inclusive financial services that transform lives and build resilience in underserved communities 🌍.

Our journey recently took us to Illeret, Marsabit County, a remote Dasanach community on the shores of Lake Turkana, where access to financial services is extremely limited. Yet, the entrepreneurial spirit thrives.

Empowering Youth and Women Entrepreneurs

We have enabled local youth to acquire motorbikes and engage in transportation businesses, connecting the community, creating jobs, and driving economic growth.

Even more powerful is the impact on women in the fishing business. They now have reliable transport to bring their fish to market, fostering collaboration between youth riders and women entrepreneurs and creating a thriving local economy built on cooperation, resilience, and empowerment.

Introducing Sustainable Solutions

Through our partnerships with SureChill and SunCulture, we are introducing:

✅ Solar-powered refrigerators to preserve fish and reduce post-harvest losses
✅ Solar irrigation pumps to support local farming and enhance food security

This is how Fortune Credit builds true financial inclusion — by ensuring that no one is left behind.

Here’s to transforming communities, fueling growth, and creating lasting impact.
