Learning from our own SACCO

AFRIDA owns the AFRIDA Entrepreneurs SACCO, which has grown into one of the biggest SACCOs in the region.

We use this experience as a benchmark to promote economic and financial education among our members and in communities, showing what people can achieve when they save and invest together.
