At The Kanga Interminable Transformers (KIT), our investments are more than financial ventures—they’re a testament to the unity and vision of our Kanga Highschool alumni (2016–2019). Funded by KES 250 monthly contributions, our projects, like maize farming and tea plantations, create wealth, foster collaboration, and pave the way for transformative goals like a modern hospital.

WHY WE INVEST
Our Philosophy of Collective Progress
The Kanga Interminable Transformers is built on the belief that together, we achieve more. Our investment philosophy, rooted in our cooperative’s values of collaboration, transparency, and community impact, guides every project we undertake. By pooling our KES 250 monthly contributions, we:
-
Build Sustainable Wealth: Create income streams through ventures like agriculture, ensuring financial growth for our 40+ members.
-
Learn Through Experience: Gain hands-on skills in project management, market navigation, and innovation, empowering us professionally.
-
Strengthen Our Unity: Collaborate on shared goals, from maize fields to tea plantations, deepening our alumni brotherhood.
Each investment is a step toward our ultimate vision: a modern hospital that saves lives. Managed transparently by our treasurer, Mike Lekutit, with regular audits, our projects reflect what’s possible when Kanga alumni unite.
OUR INVESTMENT PROJECTS
Transforming Resources into Results
In 2023, we launched a medium-scale maize farming project with a working budget of KES 75,250, carefully planned by members led by Mike Lekutit. Costs included land leasing (KES 18,000), cultivation (KES 9,000), maize seeds (KES 6,450), harrowing (KES 4,200), fertilizer (KES 14,000), labor (KES 7,500), top dressing (KES 10,500), and pesticides (KES 3,600). Despite weather challenges, we harvested 20 bags, generating KES 90,000 in income—a 20% return. This success taught us critical lessons in labor coordination and market timing, strengthening our cooperative’s expertise.
-
Key Outcome: KES 14,750 profit reinvested into 2024 projects.
-
Member Impact: Enhanced agricultural knowledge and team collaboration.
In 2024, we leased 3 acres in Kericho for a tea plantation, investing in 6 cubes at KES 9,000 each, plus costs for pesticides and fertility boosts. This ongoing project, overseen by our investment committee, aims to generate steady returns while supporting local farmers. Early results are promising, with plans to expand in 2025.
-
Key Outcome: Building a scalable income stream for hospital funding.
-
Member Impact: Deepened expertise in agribusiness and cooperative management.
