Gatina Pesa is a community currency that is currently being used in Nairobi and Mombasa. So far 107 community groups are using Gatina Pesa.

So what is a community currency?

A community currency is a regionally based means of exchange that does not replace but rather supplements the national currency system.

Community Currencies bring a radical change to how we think about sustainable development. As a socio-economic development tool they offer an innovative way to improve conditions by:
[ul]
[li]Providing community groups access to interest-free credit.[/li][li]Providing a mechanism for communities to finance social services, such as education, environmental and health services.[/li][li]Increasing local trade, employment, small business development and overall local economic stability[/li][/ul]
Presently, the community currencies in operation in Kenya are: KangemiPesa, Gatina Pesa, Linda Pesa (Kibera), Ng’ombeni Pesa and Bangla Pesa (Mombasa)

one evening walking along a nyeri street some call girls were harassing a mukurinu. They were shouting…“Wee, wagithomo, unga ngwenderie gatina. Niuguraga gatina ? Ningukwenderia wega…”…the mokorino quickened his pace and i could only imagine he was saying so many Riswas kimoyo moyo…:smiley:
