Since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, Tushirikiane continued its activities but it shifted from its main activities and has been focusing on activities aimed at protecting its members from the effects of the pandemic as some of its activities could not be carried out. The activities at a halt are, for instance, education-related activities because schools and colleges are closed until now and activities related to financing new income generating activities.
However, under the project Raising the refugees’ living standards, Tushirikiane decided in September to boost one of the three projects funded under this project. This is the project of a member who was making doughnuts and decided to expand it and changed into a bakery. He was given Ksh 25,000. As far as the other two funded projects (one of selling clothes in the market and the other of tailoring) are concerned, they are still going on. Tushirikiane has been following up on them and they are doing well. However, it is not possible to boost them in this period because many people are not ready to spend on clothes because uncertainty in this period of Covid-19. In addition, Tushirikiane has stopped funding new projects because it is hard now to start a new business due to Covid-19 confinement measures.
Out of $ 1324.54 which has been disbursed, Tushirikiane has so far given out Ksh 115,000).
