Over 100 private school owners and stakeholders in Naivasha have received practical training from NCBA. They were trained on sustainable finance, embracing green and asset financing, adopting business insurance and integrating digital banking solutions.
The education sector is a key pillar of Kenya’s economy, receiving KES 707.2 billion in the 2025/26 budget. Beyond nurturing future leaders, schools also drive local employment, support suppliers, and contribute to community growth.
In partnership with Water.Org, the training focused on renewable energy and WASH [Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene] project financing. School leaders also explored NCBA’s digital platforms Soma Plus, NCBA Tills, and Connect Plus for efficient operations and transparency.
Robert Kiboti, NCBA’s Director of Commercial and SME Banking, reiterated the bank’s commitment:
“We believe schools are the heart of securing Kenya’s economic growth. By providing them with the right financing models, we are enabling them to become more resilient, efficient, and future-ready.”
Participants also learned about risk management through bancassurance, ensuring protection against disruptions and safeguarding institutional sustainability.
“This forum has taught us sustainable financing, digital cash management, asset financing, and insurance solutions. NCBA has truly positioned itself as a one-stop financial partner.” Said Harun Muigai, Chairman, Association of Private Primary Schools, Naivasha Sub county.
This initiative forms part of NCBA’s wider agenda to advance sustainable finance, digital transformation, and SME empowerment across Kenya.
