Under the arrangement, riders contribute Frw 35,000 per week as repayment. <\/p>\n<p>To qualify, applicants must hold a valid motorcycle driving license, provide proof of residence, have two guarantors, and be free of any outstanding loans from other financial institutions. <\/p>\n<p>For example, to acquire a motorcycle worth Frw 2 million, a rider is required to make an initial payment of Frw 150,000 or less and continue repaying over a period of two years without providing any collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond financing, Jali Finance also supports motorcyclists in cases of traffic fines, allowing riders to reimburse the amount gradually.<\/p>\n<p>One of the beneficiaries, Vedaste Karangwa, expressed gratitude for the program, saying it helped him rebuild his livelihood after losing his previous motorcycles. <\/p>\n<p>He attributed such opportunities to Rwanda\u2019s visionary leadership under President Paul Kagame, emphasizing how government-driven initiatives continue to empower ordinary citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet us thank our Head of State, President Paul Kagame, because we owe all this progress to his leadership,\u201d Karangwa said. \u201cThis development is a result of good governance, unity, and peace. I had two motorcycles but lost them under difficult circumstances. When I approached Jali Finance for help, they supported me. I had almost lost hope, but they helped me start again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another rider, Eric  Ndagijimana, a father of two, shared that Jali Finance helped him upgrade from a small passenger motorcycle to a larger cargo-carrying one, which significantly improved his income.<\/p>\n<p>With the additional earnings, he has been able to support his family and pay school fees for his child.<\/p>\n<p>Isma\u00ebl Gasana, a 24-year-old rider, narrated how his life changed after owning a motorcycle through Jali Finance. Previously, he worked using bikes owned by others, which made it difficult to save or plan for the future, as the owners could take the motorcycles back at any time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to ride other people\u2019s motorcycles, and it was always unstable. They could repossess them any day,\u201d he said. \u201cBut now I have my own motorcycle, and I no longer worry. I can work freely and plan ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jali Finance Ltd\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, F\u00e9lix Nkundimana, said the company dedicated this customer week to appreciating riders who honor their commitments and repay responsibly. <\/p>\n<p>He noted that the recognition reflects the institution\u2019s respect for integrity and professionalism among riders, many of whom demonstrate discipline on the road and a genuine desire for progress.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96053\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/carlos-2.jpg\" alt=\"One of the requirements to qualify for a motorcycle loan from Jali Finance is having no outstanding debt with any other financial institution.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96052\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/bimwe_mu_bisabwa_na_jali_finance_kugira_ngo_utunge_moto_yawe_itwara_abagenzi_mu_buryo_bwa_rusange_ni_ukuba_udafite_ideni_mu_kindi_kigo_cy_imari-1a75b.jpg\" alt=\"Jali Finance supports motorcyclists to own bikes.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96051\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abamotari_bishingirwa_na_jali_finance_bishimanye_n_abakozi_b_iki_kigo_hizihizwa_icyumweru_cyahariwe_abakiliya-7b7da.jpg\" alt=\"Motorcyclists financed by Jali Finance celebrated Customer Week together with the company\u2019s staff in a joyful event.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96049\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abamotari_bishingirwa_na_jali_finance_barayivuga_imyato-dc581.jpg\" alt=\"Motorcyclists supported by Jali Finance expressed their appreciation.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96048\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abakozi_ba_jali_finance_bagize_umwanya_wo_gusabana_n_abamotari_bishingiwe_n_iki_kigo_bagahabwa_moto_ku_nguzanyo_itagira_ingwate-e2435.jpg\" alt=\"Staff from Jali Finance spent time engaging with motorcyclists who received motorcycles through the company\u2019s collateral-free loan program.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96059\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/umuyobozi_mukuru_wa_jali_finance_felix_nkundimana_yashimye_abamotari_bishyura_iki_kigo_neza_avuga_ko_ubunyangamugayo_bwabo_bugira_uruhare_mu_iterambere_ry_igihugu-.jpg\" alt=\"The CEO of Jali Finance Ltd, F\u00e9lix Nkundimana, commended the motorcyclists who honor their repayments.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96058\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/jali_finance_yanishimanye_n_abamotari_mu_kwizihiza_icyumweru_cyahariwe_umukiliya_basangira_ibirimo_ifunguro_rya_mu_gitondo-8f9fd.jpg\" alt=\"Jali Finance joined motorcyclists in celebrating Customer Week by sharing meals, including breakfast.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96057\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/hanakaswe_umutsima_ubwo_abamotari_bishingirwa_na_jali_finance_bizihizanyaga_n_iki_kigo_icyumweru_cyahariwe_umukiliya-ea834.jpg\" alt=\"A cake-cutting ceremony was held as part of the Customer Week celebration between Jali Finance and the financed motorcyclists.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96055\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ec1a2054-3-319f8.jpg\" alt=\" Motorcyclists who have been consistently repaying their motorcycle loans were recognized and rewarded for their integrity.\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96050\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/abamotari_bishyura_neza_moto_bahawe_bishingiwe_na_jali_finance_bahembwe_bashimirwa_ubunyangamugayo_bwabo-16557.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96054\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ec1a2045-f842b.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-96056\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ec1a2051-8dd2e.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recognition took place on October 10, 2025, at Jali Finance\u2019s branch in Sonatube, Kigali, during an event marking Customer Appreciation Week.
