What is the 52 Week Challenge?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a rapid graduated savings plan where one progressively saves weekly towards a worthy goal over a period of 52 Weeks(One Year). It gained popular support through the inspiration and work of Ms.Kellie (Rookie Manager Blog)<\/a>. We at Ujenzibora thank Kellie and Gikundo<\/a> for making this important Way of Thinking public. Currently, more than 500 Kenyans are participating in the Savings Challenge and we at Ujenzibora took time to apply it to the Goal of Home Ownership. [See Worked Example below].<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
