This week marks a significant milestone in the journey of Fortune Credit. As we celebrated 11 years of service and impact, we also inaugurated our newest branch in Busia, further extending our commitment to advancing financial inclusion across Kenya.
Since our inception in 2014, Fortune Credit has remained dedicated to empowering communities by providing access to credit and financial solutions. Over the past eleven years, we have supported more than 35,000 customers, including small-scale farmers, informal traders, boda boda riders, and families. Our work has focused on unlocking opportunities, restoring dignity, and enabling resilience among underserved communities.
This progress has been made possible through the trust of our customers, the partnership of over 20 investors and collaborators who share our vision, and the dedication of our young, dynamic team whose passion drives every milestone.
The launch of the Busia branch on this anniversary underscores our strategic intent to bring financial services closer to communities that need them most. Busia, a key border town and hub of enterprise, reflects the values of resilience and opportunity that Fortune Credit seeks to support. With this expansion, we reaffirm our mission to deliver inclusive financial solutions to more regions and communities across the country.
The Busia branch was officially launched by Enid Busolo, a member of our Board of Directors, and the ceremony was graced by distinguished guests including Petronila Macharia, NCBA Busia Branch Manager; Edgar Karani, Assistant Branch Manager, Stanbic Busia; and Boniface Okumu, Chair of the Busia Boda Boda Association. Their presence underscored the importance of collaboration between financial institutions, community leadership, and stakeholders in driving inclusive economic growth.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to building on this foundation, expanding our reach, and deepening our impact. The past 11 years are a testament to what can be achieved when vision, trust, and collaboration come together. The opening of the Busia branch represents both a celebration of our history and a clear signal of our future ambitions.
Fortune Credit: 11 years of impact, and a future of continued growth and empowerment.
