Kisii County government has been challenged to support women to form saccos in all sub counties in the county to empower them and to promote development projects.
According to Bathsheba Zanayo, a woman leader in Kisii, women in the county have organised a fund raising at the end of October to raise funds to form a sacco.
She has appealed to the county government and all Kisii country men to support them so that they can initiate projects which will empower them.
Zanayo who was speaking on Tuesday at Gusii Stadium during Mashujaa Day celebrations said that women need support to help the county develop economically.
She also urged women to join saccos and get loans that can help them start income generating projects.
“If you want to help women, the best thing you can do is to support them financially,” said Zanayo.
She said that women will continue working with the county government for its prosperity.
