Trans-counties Sacco has once again cemented its position as a financial powerhouse and a champion of community empowerment after being named the Best Deposit-Taking (DT) Sacco in Trans-Nzoia County. The prestigious award was presented during the colorful 104th International Ushirika Day (Cooperative Day) celebrations, held at St. Monica PCEA Church in Kitale. This recognition is a testament to the SACCO's unwavering commitment to prudent financial management, member-centric service delivery and operational excellence. In a competitive field of SACCOs, Trans-counties SACCO stood out for its impressive growth, robust governance and significant impact on the lives of its members. “This victory is not just for the management but for every single member who has trusted us with their savings and financial dreams. We are deeply honored by this recognition and remain committed to steering our community toward sustainable wealth creation," said Elkana Ogari, Trans-counties SACCO supervisory committee. The award reflects the trust that thousands of members have placed in the SACCO as a reliable partner in their financial journey. It also underscores Trans-counties SACCO's role in driving economic growth in the region by providing accessible credit, encouraging savings and supporting local enterprises. This year’s celebrations themed "Cooperatives for a Peaceful World," brought together a wide array of SACCOs and cooperatives operating within Trans-Nzoia, including Hazina SACCO, Boresha SACCO, Coop, CIC group, hundreds of members and community stakeholders. The event served as a powerful reminder of the cooperative movement's role in fostering social cohesion, economic inclusion and community resilience. The event was graced by Trans-Nzoia County Governor, H.E. George Natembeya, who lauded the cooperative movement as a crucial pillar for socio-economic development. In his address to the congregation, Governor Natembeya urged community members to actively join and invest in Saccos to secure their financial futures and uplift their households. The Governor’s rallying call perfectly aligns with the mission of Trans-counties Sacco, which has consistently focused on providing accessible, innovative and reliable financial solutions to its growing membership.
