I am delighted to introduce to you the 4th edition of our Ushirikiano Newsletter. It is my hope and prayer that you are well and doing your best to cope with the impacts of the pandemic we’re in the middle of currently.
I know times are tough for all of us and by all indications the situation may change very minimally in the coming months. For this reason, we need to brace ourselves to deal with COVID-19 and its aftermath for several more months and perhaps even years. So, I encourage us to remain vigilant and careful in out interactions and also very prudent with our resources. We’re not out of the woods yet!
The unfortunate circumstances notwithstanding, we still have many reasons to be grateful and continue working hard for our prosperity and for the sake of those that depend on us. It’s for this reason that in this issue, we share with you tips that you can use to reorganize your finances. This is the time to think of earning more, saving more, spending prudently and borrowing wisely. Let’s not overindulge as we don’t know what the future holds.
We also have some updates on the efforts we are making as management to keep our SACCO running albeit under challenging times and heading into a new regulatory framework. It’s not been easy but we’re doing our best.
Feel free to reach out to us with any feedback you may have on our services. If you also wish to see your article published in this newsletter don’t hesitate to share with us on education@kanisa-sacco.org. Until next time keep safe and enjoy the read.

Vice Chairperson & Chairperson, Education Committee
Well done for coming up with this newsletter. However, it doesn’t have much need. How about soliciting from members on what you can add to enhance this newsletter.
*correction – “… it doesn’t have much news…”
Hi Pam, thanks for your feedback. If you read carefully on Page 6 you will realize that we have included a call for submission of articles from members. Feel free to submit yours to education@kanisa-sacco.org
