JumpStartAfrica

Group meetings every week

Group meetings are where weekly repayments are collected, new members are introduced, groups guarantee each other, and members get financial literacy, leadership and entrepreneurship training. Anyone thinking about a Group Loan is welcome to sit in on one first.

Which days

Any weekday, Monday to Friday.

Each group agrees its own sitting day among its members — there is no single day all of JSA meets on.

What time

Start times vary by group. Ask an officer for the one nearest you.

Where

Groups meet close to where their members trade, around Kampala. An officer will point you to yours.

What happens at a meeting

It is not only about repayments.

  • Collecting weekly repayments
