Financial Empowerment through Revolving Fund (SACCO) Project
The co-operative has established a Revolving Fund (SACCO) project that provides financial support to members, enabling them to start or grow their businesses. This fund operates through small loans and financial assistance, allowing members to access the capital needed for equipment, training, or other business-related expenses. Supported by partners like WWF, the SACCO project contributes to improving members' financial independence and business sustainability.
