The role we serve

Kenya National Entrepreneurs Savings Trust (KNEST) is a unique national informal-sector pension scheme established by the Government to meet the unique needs of the more than 17 million marginalized informal-sector workers.

The scheme has deployed low-cost modern technologies to catalyze a sustainable business model that manages intermittent micro-savings — meeting both long-term pension demands and the pressing short-term needs that are unique to this sector.
