MPEWU (Mpigi persons with unique abilities) was started to empower parents of children with special needs under special children special people whose cause among others was identified as lack of sustainable domestic source of livelihood. Therefore, SCSP board agreed to improve on the livelihood/ income through empowering the single mothers economically, sharing of ideas and hand skills, and to start a savings and credit group.

The Capacity Building and Revolving Fund Program was based on the assumption that this marginalized community already had the capability and ingenuity (business idea) to create viable micro-enterprises.  With the Sameness start-up capital and training, they could make this potential a reality.  The Sameness Revolving Fund Program also emphasized strengthening business skills so that entrepreneurs are better equipped to sustain and expand their micro businesses.  Sameness funded businesses are based on products or services needed within the community, making markets available.

The program was implemented by a team of trained professionals who were passionate about their work to empower beneficiaries develop/setup micro-enterprises.  This team with the support of program committee facilitated the Credit program including vetting, selecting and training the needy entrepreneurs, approving business plans, monitoring and supervised credit and loan tracking activities and reported to program manager.

With support from stakeholders over the years we identified the need to expand our operations and did so and expanded to areas of Mpigi district and the need to advance from a VSLA, SACCO was identified and in 2022 we were registered as a microfinance Non depository institution with our registration name as MPEWU Credit Finance Limited.

We currently run three branches in the sub counties within Mpigi district with a clientele base of over 500 clients within the district. The operations of the project have since expanded and are run by a team of professionals who train different women groups and individual clients about need to save, financial capacity building, business skill management techniques among others. After the training, the team assess the clients creditworthiness and later offers credit to such clients for a repayment period not exceeding six months..
