Product Information

Encouraging private investors to fund equity in social housing, where people can buy or build dwellings without paying for the land.

Like the bigger shareholding banks, the SACCOs will also act as primary lenders with funds derived from KMRC, a pioneering innovation that “has required some capacity-building for the SACCOs as they have no experience at all with mortgages,” said Oltetia.Mortgage refinancing companies like KMRC can also be effective in providing credit at times of economic downturns, playing a stabilizing, counter-cyclical role in markets as they did in a few countries in Europe and Asia during the 2008-09 financial crisis, said Hassler. The inclusion of SACCOs gives a broad reach to Kenya’s new mortgage refinance infrastructure while sending a powerful signal of social inclusion, said Hassler. “They have a cultural aspect, as many people would rather go to a structure like a SACCO than to a bank,” he said. “Many are not comfortable with banks in emerging economies, and credit unions have wide networks. They’re like the post, with branches in every little village.” In the essay, Woolf constructs a critical and historical account of women writers thus far. Woolf examines the careers of several female authors, including Aphra Behn, Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea, and George Eliot.

The AIIW Per Capita report found about a quarter of Australians rent in the private market, with rents growing 9.5 per cent in the year to June 2022. Two thirds of private renters with low incomes are in housing stress, with 20 per cent spending half their income on rent. Older women and single parents are more likely to spend a larger proportion of their income on rent and women are disproportionately represented in this group.A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf, first published in September 1929. [1] The work is based on two lectures Woolf delivered in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, women's colleges at the University of Cambridge. [2] [3] This report makes a stark case for a gender lens to be applied to housing innovation, with women at such higher risk. Our message to funders of social housing investment (philanthropic, impact, commercial or government) is that a gender lens must be applied to your funding decision and AIIW can connect you to the experts who can help.” KMRC is a big innovation, because it gives banks the resources to reach down-market sectors that banks have had no interest in reaching in the past. For the Kenyan housing sector, that is really pushing the envelope,” said Caroline Cerruti, senior financial specialist at the World Bank. KMRC is carving out an affordable mortgage market in Kenya almost from scratch, while stimulating competition between lenders to reach underserved sectors and adding a new dimension to Kenya’s own capital markets, she explained.
