Putting Drivers in the Driver's Seat: Kenya

In Kenya's capital Nairobi, many taxi drivers don't have enough money to purchase their own cars, so they rent them on a weekly basis, and these rental costs put them in a difficult economic situation. Kobayashi Reiji and Tokita Koji have started a project to improve drivers' lives by offering them low-interest loans with affordable down payments on car purchases, using an innovative credit scoring system. They have also struck partnerships with local car dealers and repair garages so that they can offer drivers the best quality cars possible. Follow Kobayashi and Tokita as they offer hard-working drivers the opportunity to build a better future for themselves.
