— Masha, Isingiro.
Since its establishment in 2020, Nyamitsindo Farmers SACCO has been empowering farmers in Masha, Isingiro, by instilling a culture of saving and financial growth. What began as a simple rotational savings practice, commonly known as “Merry go round”, has now grown into a structured Savings and Credit Cooperative that enables members to save, access loans and receive payments conveniently.
“At its inception, the SACCO's primary focus was on serving local farmers, particularly those delivering milk to the nearby dairy. After supplying their milk, farmers process their payments through the SACCO, giving them access not only to savings but also to essential financial services. Today, Nyamitsindo Farmers SACCO offers agricultural loans, savings accounts and advance payments, making it a pillar of support within Masha”.
With a membership base of over 1,000 farmers, the SACCO has become a trusted financial partner that empowers her members with timely payments, affordable credit and financial literacy that improves household income management and sustainability.
To strengthen their daily operations, Nyamitsindo Farmers SACCO has partnered with Yaatu Tech Limited to migrate to the latest version of the SaccoSys platform. SaccoSys software for SACCOs designed to streamline SACCO operations, provide accurate and real-time data for effective decision-making.
The story of Nyamitsindo Farmers SACCO is one of those that demonstrate how financial cooperatives are transforming communities through structured saving and lending. With the adoption of SaccoSys, the SACCO will achieve even greater impact, bridging the gap between traditional practices and modern financial technology.
