These people come from the poorest places of Kenya.
They were beggars and plantation workers.However,they are people with dreams and hopes.Thanks to Jamii Bora,thousands of them are realizing their dreams.
The small bank got its start when Ingrid Munro retired (退休) from her work.She suggested that poor people should have houses of their own as well.The Swedish-born Munro and her Canadian husband had adopted(收养)a homeless boy in 1988.However,he had been run over by a bus and was unable to walk freely.
When Munro worked in the UK she learned about the lives of the poor,but her deep learning began through the eyes of that boy and increased when she adopted the boy’s two brothers.
In 1999 she decided to start a small club.The members would be 50 women,beggar s who had been kind to children.No one imagined it could become so successful that it would change into Jamii Bora Bank,with over 300,000 customers across Kenya.Munro did not expect that it would turn out to be such a greet success.
Instead of employing experts,she has trained those women herself.And she employs ex-beggars,the ones who joined them in the way very early days and have come out of poverty(贫穷).She teachers these beggars how to do everything from the beginning.What is also different about Jamii Bora is the approach to borrowers.They help families get health and disaster insurance,schooling for their children,and help with housing.They teach business skills so that people can live a better life.
