The People Behind the Mission
Chester Investment is only as strong as the people who show up every day — in the office, in the field, and in the community. Meet the team.
Leadership
The people who set the vision and lead every branch with purpose and integrity.
Miss Assimwe Jennifer founded Chester Investment Limited in 2019 after recognising that the women driving Mukono's local economy were systematically excluded from formal financial services. With a background in finance and a deep commitment to community development, she built Chester from the ground up into a fully UMRA-licensed Tier 4 Microfinance Institution.
Under her leadership, Chester has disbursed over UGX 2 Billion to more than 1,200 women, always pairing capital with free financial training — because she believes knowledge is the most powerful loan of all.
Grace leads the Mukono branch with over 5 years of experience in microfinance field operations. She oversees loan officer teams, client assessment visits, and ensures every group formed in Mukono receives the full training and support they deserve. Known for her warm approach and deep community relationships, Grace is the backbone of Chester's flagship branch.
Patricia manages Chester's Kireka branch, bringing a sharp eye for client development and group sustainability. With a background in community banking and business development, she has grown the Kireka portfolio significantly since taking the helm. Patricia is passionate about Chester's training-first model and personally conducts many of the group education sessions in her area.
Our People
From loan officers who visit clients at home, to the finance team keeping everything in order — these are the people who make Chester work every single day.
Mukono
Lydia handles client onboarding, group formation support, and home assessment visits across the Mukono area. She has a gift for building trust with first-time borrowers.
Kireka
James is based at the Kireka branch, managing group assessments and loan disbursements. His knowledge of the local trading community makes him an invaluable field officer.
Sharon manages Chester's financial records, loan disbursement processing, and UMRA compliance reporting. Her diligence ensures that every client account is accurate and transparent.
Doreen leads the free financial literacy sessions for every new group before their loan is issued. She covers loan management, business growth strategies, and group sustainability in engaging, practical workshops.
Brenda is the first point of contact for all new enquiries, group registrations, and follow-up calls. She ensures every client — from first-time applicants to repeat borrowers — feels heard and supported throughout their journey.
Robert tracks client business progress after loan disbursement, conducting follow-up visits and impact assessments. His work ensures Chester lives up to its promise — not just surviving businesses, but thriving ones.
Every person at Chester Investment shares the same north star — building women who build Uganda.
