BK5000.6 Re: Fw: Visiting JAMII BORA TRUST

[christopher macrae]

Imagine This   This week Ingrid Munro who co-founded Jamii Bora (happy family bank) in 1999 with 50 street orphans and slum dwellers was invited to meet the world bank in washington dc and the world's biggest banks in Wall Street. She was asked to tell them what she knew about what people most want from banking which they might have forgotten about or not know how to do. Her reply at JP Morgan bank.   In other words, today Jamii Bora is the most interesting bank to learn and do with in the whole world  If you are a Kenyan you don't need to trust me in saying this - why not trust a leader like the Kenyan-American in the White House. Yes We Can is one of his favourite promises to youth and people like you.   I left New York at 3 am to try to meet Ingrid at the World bank at 8.30 am. I asked her if people are living in a rural or other part of Kenya and want to know how to practice with Jamii Bora, what would they need to have before Jamii Bora would be interested in helping networks its solutions openly with them? She said nothing other than the communal determination to go from having nothing to the most the people and the community could humanly achieve and sustain over time.   So if you do represent - or love a community in Kenya -  so you know what that community most desperately wants to have a chance to connect its peoples lifetimes to doing - then please visit a branch of Jamii Bora, say that you heard what Ingrid Munro had said this at the world bank,  and ask what to do to get started in connecting your comunity and all the other communities that already network round Jamii Bora.   One of Jamii Bora's abilities to be smarter than any other bank I have ever seen is every bit of vital information to society and to business is recorded by mobile technology. So JB isnt just the smartest peoples bank yet designed, but one of the worldwide's best in using internet technology in a race that I rate as more humanly worthwhile than the 1960s race to get to the moon. Of course that's a personal judgement -select your own. Tell us about it!   Speaking personally:  the first job I ever tried to learn how to do is market research. And my favourite practice in market research is called mystery market research. What that means is if you take the time to go an talk to Jamii Bora - and you truly represent a community who wants to know how they could join in doing what over 20000 people at Jamii Bora are doing and learning with small amounts of money - then I will publish what you report happened. I will do this at http://jamiibora.net which journalist and student friends of ending poverty edit.   chris macrae in...@worldcitizen.tv  washington dc bureau 301 881 1655   PS Jamii Bora aims to sustain Kenya's end-poverty future by doubling in size in 2009 from under quarter of a million kenyans helping each other bank on becoming microentrpreneurs, to over half a million   -ask yourself who can help this and who could waste jamii bora's members time - please let each other know   --- On Fri, 30/1/09, William Wambura <wambura...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: From: William Wambura <wambura...@yahoo.co.uk> Subject: Re: Fw: Visting JAMII BORA TRUST To: mariaagne...@yahoo.it, cpam...@yahoo.com Cc: mrk...@gmail.com, rave...@gmail.com, ndibaj...@yahoo.ca, ohayor...@hotmail.com, chris....@yahoo.co.uk, jamb...@yahoo.com, njun...@yahoo.com, kira...@yahoo.com, nafsiaf...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, 30 January, 2009, 9:50 AM Thank you very much Chrispinus Ouma,and all friends Am very pleased to receive your email,its a great efforts and lovely thin to take your time for us.My time is very short,as you all know we cant have enough access for much time at the cyber cafe.But i take this few minutes to wish you all the best in your Acrobatic tour.For you truely deserve it,to surmon our people together. william. --- On Fri, 23/1/09, chrispinus ouma <cpam...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: chrispinus ouma <cpam...@yahoo.com> Subject: Fw: Visting JAMII BORA TRUST To: mariaagne...@yahoo.it Cc: mrk...@gmail.com, rave...@gmail.com, cpam...@yahoo.com, ndibaj...@yahoo.ca, ohayor...@hotmail.com, wambura...@yahoo.co.uk, chris....@yahoo.co.uk, jamb...@yahoo.com, njun...@yahoo.com, kira...@yahoo.com, nafsiaf...@yahoo.com Date: Friday, 23 January, 2009, 4:37 PM  Jambo to All   Greetings and am very happy hear about your visit to Jamii bora , If you could have time better also visit Some Financila Institution like bank Esp like K;rept Bank, Family finimce or East Africa Buliding society, theri is aslo one called CADET which was being done with World Vision Kenya :its better to gather more information before we move to what solutuion can be done ,    Kenya community Abroad esp, our kenya association in lecce would like to be very much involve in such intiatives to help back home 80 percent of us her in italy lecce , come from tjhose Slum, kariobangi, huruma , dandora, kibera, mkuru kayaba , the best telent we have we are all artist   lets hope thise year 2009 during our Peace tour with Acrobates in Europe we shall try to look  for the better solution to Networks group back home maria an waiting to meet you in roma before i go for the Global Peace Conference wish you all the best cioa chrise --- On Fri, 1/23/09, kayiwa fred <fdka...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: kayiwa fred <fdka...@yahoo.com> Subject: Visting JAMII BORA TRUST To: mrk...@gmail.com, rave...@gmail.com, cpam...@yahoo.com, ndibaj...@yahoo.ca, ohayor...@hotmail.com, wambura...@yahoo.co.uk, chris....@yahoo.co.uk, jamb...@yahoo.com, njun...@yahoo.com, kira...@yahoo.com, nafsiaf...@yahoo.com Cc: mariaagne...@yahoo.it Date: Friday, January 23, 2009, 4:28 AM Hi all, This is so wonderfull to let you know that today me and maria have visted Jami Bora Trust A very good micro credit project which is following the Yunusu Muhamed PRICIPLES. Indeed what they are doing is so inspiring , we saw that they are helping lots of people and they dont have any selection of who you are from their experience they have managed to go a step ahead of introducing housing finance were they give housing on loans, they have health insurance and they have managed to improve the lifes of women in Kenya through giving them loans starting with 100$ the system they use is quite inspiring where by they are giving loan to group of people were you must be having agroup in order to get a loan and this acts as a security unlike other microfinaces like the ones in Uganda who intends to make the people poor. Greetings From Maria and Fred In Nairobi
