A Christian values-based savings and credit group.
St. John the Evangelist Self-Help Group (SHG) was established in 1998 as a Christian values-based savings and credit group operating under the Catholic Caritas Nairobi Self Help Programme. Run by a dedicated management committee and guided by Gospel values, the group empowers its members and the wider community to save, borrow wisely and grow together.
As a trusted Caritas Microfinance Bank partner, we provide secure and accessible financial services — cultivating a strong savings culture, affordable credit and lasting social and economic empowerment across Githiga and beyond.
Guided by a dedicated committee
The SHG is run by a committed management committee that oversees savings, credit and community empowerment. Guided by Christian values and the Caritas Nairobi Self Help Programme, the committee ensures prudent financial management and transparent service to every member.
