On Tuesday, October 28th, 2025, Fortune Credit was honored to host the team from Envest Microfinance, led by their CEO Jon Bishop, together with members of their senior investment team, at our offices in Nairobi. The visit was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and celebrate the journey we have shared toward expanding financial inclusion across Kenya.

A Partnership Built on Shared Purpose

In 2021, Envest Microfinance placed their confidence in Fortune Credit’s mission to empower underserved communities by offering affordable and inclusive financial solutions that truly transform lives.

As our first international investment partner, Envest’s support came at a crucial moment in our growth. Their belief in our vision to uplift marginalized and low-income populations, including women, youth, and rural entrepreneurs, laid the foundation for a partnership grounded in trust, collaboration, and long-term impact.

Transforming Lives Through Impact

Four years later, the results of this partnership can be seen across the communities we serve.

🌾 62% of our portfolio now supports women entrepreneurs, helping them grow businesses, support their families, and strengthen their communities.
 💡 24% of our financing goes to youth-led enterprises, inspiring innovation and creating jobs for Kenya’s growing youth population.
 🏡 54% of our clients live in rural areas, where access to financial services is often limited.

These numbers tell powerful stories of resilience and progress. They represent lives changed and communities strengthened through access to fair and reliable financial solutions.

Gratitude and Continued Collaboration

We are deeply grateful to Envest Microfinance and to all our investors and partners who continue to walk this journey with us. Your commitment and belief in our work have made it possible to bring opportunity and hope to those who need it most.

Together, we continue to prove that when purpose-driven institutions work side by side, real transformation happens — one entrepreneur, one household, and one community at a time.
