HOW WE DO IT

Joining Hands for Progress: The Power of Partnerships in Kenya

Mkono's approach to entrepreneurship in Kenya centers around forming strong partnerships with on-the-ground groups, including incubators, accelerators, and mentorship programs. This model emphasizes community success, with each repaid loan increasing the financial resources available for the broader community.

​This strategic collaboration not only boosts individual entrepreneurs but also strengthens the entire community, creating a reinforcing cycle of development and prosperity.​
