The social business, Juhudi Kilimo, provides microloans to enable smallholder farmers to buy productive assets, such as cows, tools and so on. Since its foundation in 2009, Juhudi Kilimo has provided over 50,000 loans worth $30 million and financed the purchase of 23,100 cows by some of Kenya’s poorest farmers. In its six years Juhudi managed to rack up an impressive list of international investors — The Rockefeller Foundation, The Ford Foundation, Acumen Fund, Soros Economic Development Fund, Grameen Foundation, Deutsche Bank and Kiva.org. The company also won a Charles Schwab Social Entrepreneur of the Year Award and part of CIO Magazine’s top 100 list. The challenges faced by the company in its early years reveal a dark underbelly of investor greed, corruption and the deep multicultural misunderstandings that can lead to conflicts. The company was driven by a young entrepreneur from the US, who admits he had no idea what he was doing but learned along the way. The lessons he presents here can help guide those starting new ventures or trying to defy the odds with a new social business in East Africa. The business stories are intertwined with his adventures, racing camels, running from rhinos and much more. Review: Five Stars - Greatttt book!

I couldn't put it down, and read the whole thing in a day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must read for social entrepreneurs in Africa *by R***N on 3 February 2016* At last - a book about social enterprise in East Africa... by someone who's actually been DOING social enterprise in East Africa. A must read for anyone involved in the sector. Great opportunity to get 'under the hood' of one of its success stories. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great, must-read for entrepreneurs in emerging markets *by G***E on 14 June 2016* A great read! The book is a well-told and engaging story of the 'nitty gritty' of starting a social business in Kenya. Nat accurately and succinctly describes the ups and downs of trying to create sustainable change for smallholder farmers, and dispels many myths about social enterprise along the way. He also vividly describes life as an expat in Nairobi, which is a large part of the experience (and the most fun one as well!). I think it's a must read for any entrepreneur, social or otherwise, trying to build something new from the ground up. Well done Nat! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/63797995-creating-a-cash-cow-in-kenya-adventures-in-starting-social](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/63797995-creating-a-cash-cow-in-kenya-adventures-in-starting-social) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
