Fedha Youth Group is an organisation formed by youths for purposes of saving money and
giving loans to members. Eligible members are youths aged 18 to 35 years who intend to start
or improve their personal business ventures.
For one to become a member of the group, a non-refundable registration fee of Kshs 1,000
must be paid. Every member is required to contribute a minimum amount of Kshs 500 every
month as shares contribution.
When a member contributes for at least six consecutive months, he or she is eligible for a
loan. The loan applied for depends on the total shares contributed by a member, the intended
repayment period and the type of loan borrowed. The interest rate charged on the loan depends
on the type of loan as shown in the following table.
Each member applying for a loan is required to be guaranteed by other members of the
organisation. The total amount guaranteed by the other members should be equal to or more
than the mount borrowed less the shares of the borrower. All the savings that are not borrowed
are kept in the bank as fixed deposit and earns interest at a rate of 0.6% per month.
Any member wishing to exit from the organisation is required to give a one month notice and
to have paid back all the outstanding loans borrowed. The loans that the exiting member has
guaranteed other borrowers must also have been paid back. Upon expiry of the one month
notice, the exiting member is reimbursed the full amount of shares he or she has contributed to
the organisation.
At the end of every year, the total revenue earned from the loans borrowed and from the fixed
deposits is computed. From this amount, 10% is retained for office expenses and the balance is
shared among the members as dividends on shares. The amount of dividends allocated to each
member is based on their respective share contributions to the organisation.
