Benefits of Being A Tembeka Shareholder • An immediate social return (the development that your investment is used for)
• A small financial return (which we would like you to consider reinvesting in Tembeka’s work)

• A countrywide outreach to poor and disadvantaged communities. Financial Viability Tembeka’s income is generated from the interest collected on loans to partner organisations. Tembeka is designed to keep its operating costs as low as possible to ensure maximum benefit for the client and the final borrowers (mainly from the disadvantaged communities). The chart below shows a comparison of Tembeka’s income and expenditure for year 1 (February 2004/05) to year 7, (February 2010/11).
