Chester Investment offers Women Group Loans — designed for groups of 8 to 25 women in the same locality who own small businesses and know each other well. No individual collateral required. Your group's trust is your guarantee.
Simple Process
The full journey takes 2 weeks for first-time groups — and just 2–3 days when you come back for more.
8–25 women in the same locality, aged 18–69, each owning a small business.
Your group attends financial literacy training — loan management, business growth, and group sustainability.
Our Loan Officer visits each member at home and at work before approving the group's loan.
Loans disbursed. Our team monitors, supports, and stays with you beyond the first repayment.
Our Purpose
We don't just disburse loans. We are in the business of building women who build Uganda.
We empower women to become great managers of their businesses by providing free financial training before any loan is offered. Knowledge is the first investment.
We don't disappear after disbursement. We train, monitor, and walk alongside every client — not to build a surviving business, but a thriving one.
Chester promotes meaningful connections among women entrepreneurs — building networks of trust, trade, and mutual growth within our communities.
We ensure that each loan issued is directly tied to a real, measurable step forward in a woman's business — not just a patch on a problem.
Our mission is to give every woman — regardless of her starting point — a genuine opportunity to grow and thrive in Uganda's economy.
From Our Founder
"Financial inclusion isn't just about giving money. It's about giving every woman the tools, the knowledge, and the confidence to build something that lasts."
