I'm new here and don't know if this is where to start this. I'm looking for a sacco to join and here's my background.

I work in a small telecoms firm with about 15 guys and hence don't have a sacco. I don't know if any of you guys can help me with info about which ones accept random people who just walk in, or better yet those that accept self employed guys.

@ngatts I've heard of Mhasibu Sacco who accept all. And in these .com days I see they even have a site http://mhasibusacco.com/

If you talk to them, keep us posted.

Oooh, so that's what the site says... Heard of them before I saw the site, and person who mentioned them (like 6 years ago) did not fulfill those requirements and was a member.

Should be possible to get in? But then I can be mistaken.

@ngatts am surprised there isn't a sacco for geeks. How about you form one?

@sparkly Sounds like a good idea, I'm sure it'd have enough members. The administration overhead however requires a calling

Hi all,

I came accros Wazua by chance and its and addictive forum and well thought.
I got interested in a number of issues and would really be ready to participate whenever possible.
On the issues of Sacco, first of all I work with the Umbrella body of Sacco which is KUSCCO LTD (Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operative) We have a SACCO called KILELE which is open to all we even have some expertriates joining. The joining fee is Kshs 300 for registration.


Do not hesitate to get back throu Wazua or email isaac@kuscco.com

Regards

Kimathi

@kenstat
I did find one that I found suited me. It's called Maisha Bora [http://www.maishaborasacco.com/]. I have a workmate who's a member. just been lazy to take the forms :)

@msotoville Didn't go to ask them about their requirements , I read through their requirements and didn't meet any.

I had a talk with @consultant and the sacco he advocated for is also good [Kilele]. Looks solid. Would have joined that one but the Maisha Bora rates are lower.
