Client name: Humphrey Business: Coffee farm Location: Kiambu region, Kenya Loan provided by Unitus partner: Jamii Bora Trust
Background: Humphrey, a coffee farmer in Kenya, is succeeding through hard work, strong entrepreneurial instincts, and a microcredit loan from Unitus partner Jamii Bora Trust. Richard Wardell, VP of Advisory Services at Unitus, met Humphrey on a recent field visit to Jamii Bora and their Kiambu branch in the coffee-growing region just outside Nairobi. Jamii Bora has been a Unitus partner since 2004. In October 2008, Unitus and Whole Planet Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Whole Foods Market, joined forces to dramatically accelerate the growth of microfinance in the coffee-growing regions of Kenya.
