Ripple Capital steps in ahead of school reopening with affordable fees financing

AS schools prepare to reopen on 12 May, many parents face the pressure of raising school fees on time. Ripple Capital has introduced financing packages aimed at easing that burden and keeping children in the classroom.

The Harare based microfinance institution is offering back to school loans with competitive interest rates and flexible repayment plans for parents and guardians.

Located at 8 Caithness Road, Eastlea, Ripple Capital says its goal is to ensure no child misses out on education due to financial constraints.

“Ripple Capital offers affordable loans to parents and guardians to help finance school fees for their children. This allows parents to plan ahead and avoid the burden of paying fees in a single lump sum to meet strict school deadlines,” said Tafadzwa Musarara Jr, Business Analyst.

He said the institution understands the challenges many families face.

“We understand the financial pressure parents face, especially those supporting two, three, or more children. That’s why Ripple Capital provides accessible loans with structured, flexible repayment periods tailored to parents’ needs. No child should bear the burden of their parents’ financial strain. Every child deserves to be in class,” he said.

The financing allows parents to spread payments over manageable periods instead of raising full fees upfront. Loans are processed quickly, with approvals often completed within a day.

The institution is also offering financing solutions to schools to support operational costs such as staff salaries, utilities, rent and learning materials.

Ripple Capital is further extending support through sponsorship of school activities, including prize giving ceremonies, sporting events and academic programmes.

With the economic environment remaining tight, such interventions are seen as critical by education stakeholders.

Ripple Capital said its approach of quick loan processing, flexible repayment terms and competitive rates positions it as a partner for both parents and schools during the back to school period.
