Update from the BOMA Fund...

Update from The BOMA Fund and Their Work in Kenya
December 2009 "This business gives us life."

The BOMA Fund has had an extraordinary year with its signature program, the Rural Entrepreneur Access Project (REAP). With small amounts of money, BOMA supplied 625 people living in extreme poverty with the tools to start an income generating business. The businesses are provided with everything they need to succeed - business skills training, seed capital and mentoring for two years by local business mentors who live in the village.
