Few women in Kenya have land title documents, and few are getting them: since 2013, less than 2 percent of issued titles have gone to women, the Kenya Land Alliance, a non-profit, said in March 2018. In the end, the women of the HoriJabesa group borrowed money from an institution that loans money to women's groups without requiring land title. Using that money and some of their savings, "we bought cattle and hired land to graze our stock". To date, said Millicent Omukaga, AFC's head of operations, more than 40,000 women in Kenya have benefited from non-collaterised loans. And without title, Katindi could not get a loan to finance money-earning ventures on her acre.
