Impact of credit on microenterprise development in Kenya

The purpose of this study was to determine the use and impact of non-governmental organization's (NGOs) loans on microenterprises in Kenya. The study also identified barriers perceived to be hindering microenterprises from growing. This was an exploratory naturalistic type of inquiry. The results were obtained through structured interviews and observations of microenterprises which had obtained loans. Thirty-five entrepreneurs were interviewed, 16 from the Manufacturing Sector, 9 from the Service Sector, and 10 from the Trade Sector. The population consisted of about 1,000 microenterprises who were active members of the Juhudi Credit Scheme in Eldoret.
