WSACCO WAZALENDO SAVINGS AND CREDIT COOPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED
19th November 2025
Wazalendo SACCO has urged its members to enrol their children and spouses so they can enjoy the same benefits available to principal members.
The call was made by the Acting Chief Executive Officer, Col Yusuf Magero Buha, during a member engagement meeting at Basic Military Training School (BMTS) Kaweweta. He encouraged members to prepare their family members for long-term financial stability.
He said that young people would gain valuable financial skills if they joined early. “Imagine if your children joined the SACCO today at the age of 10 and understood how savings and shares grow, and even accessed credit at 18,” Col Buha said.
He noted that the SACCO’s reputation has grown over time. He recalled the uncertainty that characterized its early years. “When we joined in 2005, we were hesitant and unsure about the security of our money, but today everyone is happy and even those who retire are not complaining,” he noted.
The appeal comes as WSACCO rolls out a member mobilization drive led by the Board of Directors. The initiative will provide free financial literacy training, as well as updates on performance, innovations, and future plans. It will cover the Central, Eastern, Northern and West Nile, and Western regions.
The Eastern region team is headed by Col Allan Kitanda, the Central region by Col Yusuf Magero Buha, the Northern and West Nile region by Lt Col Peter Tuhairwe, and the Western region by Col (Rtd) Dan Tizihwayo.
The exercise began on 15th November and will run until 1st December 2025.
