Organizational Background

BRAC is an international development organisation founded in Bangladesh in 1972. It partners with over 130 million people worldwide to create sustainable opportunities for those living with inequality and poverty. BRAC’s community-led, holistic approach integrates social development, microfinance, social enterprises, and ultra-poor graduation to drive systemic change. A pioneer in microfinance since 1974, BRAC began expanding its microfinance operations internationally in 2002 and now operates in eight countries across Asia and Africa, reaching over 1 million clients - 96% of whom are women.

BRAC Kenya Company Limited (BKCL) is the newest addition to BRAC’s financial services portfolio. Fully owned by BRAC International Holdings B.V., BKCL was incorporated in February 2024 and licensed as a Digital Credit Provider by the Central Bank of Kenya in June 2025. BKCL’s mission is to provide a range of financial services responsibly to people at the bottom of the pyramid, with a particular focus on empowering women living in poverty in rural and hard-to-reach areas by creating self-employment opportunities, building financial resilience, and harnessing their entrepreneurial spirit.

In line with its mission, BKCL’s credit offerings will include group-based microloans for women and small enterprise loans for entrepreneurs, with plans to introduce tailored solutions for rural smallholder farmers and youth. BKCL adheres to the Universal Standards for Social and Environmental Performance Management (USSEPM) and Client Protection Standards, ensuring clients’ well-being remains at the centre of everything it does to achieve its mission.

As part of its operational expansion, BKCL is establishing field offices across various counties in Kenya and seeks to prequalify competent service providers for the provision of office support services.

BKCL intends to establish offices in the following regions/counties: Nairobi, Kisii, Nyamira, Kakamega, Vihiga, Kisumu, Homa Bay, Migori, Bungoma, Busia, and Siaya.
