Narok, Kenya – September 30, 2026: More than 800 boda boda riders in Narok County are undergoing financial literacy training aimed at helping them manage their income, meet loan obligations and protect their livelihoods.
The training, organised by Mogo Kenya in partnership with the Boda Boda Association of Kenya (BAK), focuses on practical financial skills including budgeting, cash-flow management, understanding loan agreements and planning for regular repayments.
Riders are also being encouraged to communicate with their financiers early whenever they face challenges that could affect their ability to repay their loans, rather than allowing missed payments to accumulate.
For many boda boda operators, motorcycles are more than a means of transport—they are workplaces and important sources of daily income used to support families, pay school fees and meet household needs.
Mogo Events and Community Manager Sheila Wangari said the initiative is designed to ensure riders succeed beyond simply acquiring motorcycles.
“Behind every motorcycle we finance is a person who depends on that motorcycle to earn a living. It is their workplace, their business and, in many cases, the income that supports an entire family.”
BAK President Kevin Mubadi emphasised the importance of financial literacy, saying riders need to understand the financial commitments that come with motorcycle ownership and know what steps to take when they encounter difficulties.
The Narok training builds on financial literacy sessions conducted by Mogo Kenya and BAK across Nyanza, Mt Kenya, Western, Eastern and Rift Valley regions as the partners seek to equip more boda boda operators with knowledge and skills to manage credit responsibly and sustain their businesses.
