Fortune Credit and G4A Expand Partnership to Boost Lending for Climate-Smart Technologies
Nairobi, Kenya | June 3, 2025 — Fortune Credit Limited and Green for Access Fund LLC (G4A) have signed an enhanced risk mitigation agreement to catalyze access to climate-smart technologies for productive use across Kenya. This new facility builds on a successful earlier partnership and is designed to significantly scale Fortune Credit’s lending to individuals, farmers, and micro- and small enterprises (MSEs).
The agreement will enable Fortune Credit to extend affordable loans to individuals and small businesses for the purchase of income-generating technologies such as electric motorcycles, electric bicycles, solar-powered water pumps, refrigeration units, grain mills and other renewable energy solutions. The facility helps reduce credit risk for Fortune Credit, making it easier to serve customers who typically face financing barriers.
“Climate-smart technologies are essential for enabling inclusive economic growth in Kenya,” said David Ekabouma, Managing Director at G4A. “This partnership strengthens our joint commitment to advancing productive-use financing that improves livelihoods while contributing to a just energy transition.”
Janet Kuteli, Founder & CEO of Fortune Credit Limited, added, “We are proud to continue working with G4A to expand affordable credit for the technologies our clients need to grow their businesses. Whether it’s a farmer needing a solar pump or a boda driver switching to electric, we’re helping people invest in a more sustainable future.”
The facility will be deployed over 36 months and will focus on supporting a network of vetted technology dealers, backed by robust servicing and reporting systems.
The facility is expected to support up to 2,500 individuals and small businesses, reduce carbon emissions by up to 1,400 tonnes, and unlock up to $3 million in climate-aligned investments across Kenya’s agriculture, transport, and energy sectors.
This partnership underscores both institutions’ dedication to mobilizing private capital in support of Kenya’s climate goals and productive energy use.
