“We are have also come up with a biased initiative where 288 Open Distance Leaning (ODL) females that are studying education, agriculture, ICT, and energy will be supported in order to promote equal access to tertiary education with support from the World Bank” said Phwetekere.

He also added that they have also been making significant progress in loan recovery, as they are now able to collect K100 million a month from K40 million.
