Who we are

A cooperative that belongs to its farmers.

Shirikiana SACCO was founded to put savings, shares and fair credit within reach of every farming household in the Western region. When you join, you don't just open an account — you become a part-owner.

Your savings stay and work in your own community. Your shares earn a dividend. And the surplus comes back to members like you, season after season.

shirikiana — v. (Kiswahili)
to come together; to cooperate; to share in one another's effort.

Savings & loans, built around your season

Four products. Rooted in what you grow.

Every crop has its own rhythm of planting, waiting and payday. Shirikiana's products follow that rhythm — so you save when the money comes and borrow before you need it.
