Jiinue Savings and Credit Cooperative Society director Dorris Wanjiku on Saturday assured Thika residents the sacco is well governed, regulated and licensed by the government.
Wanjiku who spoke during the launch of Jiinue Sacco at Mama Ngina gardens in Thika town, thanked the institution for opening a branch in Thika, which she said will help in laying ground for cooperative ideals.
She advised residents to invest more and take advantage of the services brought closer to them.
“Cooperatives are facing a major challenge of poor governance, marketing of produce, low production and inadequate members but honestly, Jiinue is committed to capacity building of its members and selling the produce to primary markets. Thika residents have the capacity of growing in business and saccos are a lee-way of making such dreams come true,” she said.
“Now that we are near you, I assure you that we will educate the residents on credit so that they are aware of the process and payment terms and to also give fair employment opportunities for all communities in this region,’ she tosaid.
The sacco was founded in 2003 and has three other branches in Kiruguya, Murang’a and Limuru with over 10,000 members.
It offers credit and other financial services.
