Mwaaribani Mixed Savings - Moroto District

Mwaaribani Mixed savings and credits group was formed as a result of UCAA training rural people about savings and credit management for groups. The group is located in Lopiida village in Kangole, Moroto district (Karamoja sub region). This group was formed in 2008 and since then it has never looked back. The group consists of 25 members who paid a membership of Uganda shillings 5,000/= annually.

Mwaaribani mixed savings and credit group’s main objective is to encourage savings and give credit to members in order to enhance self-reliant economic development in their communities. Anna Grace Lorika, Change Agent is working with this group. Members of this group reported that they have been able to construct better housing for the family, pay school fees for their children, buy households’ items, and improve on nutrition using their income acquired from this scheme.

In fact one of the group members testified that he managed to purchase a grinding mill using the income acquired from this group.

They appreciate UCAA for the knowledge given.
