Karongi residents hail savings schemes

KARONGI- Upcountry residents say credit and savings cooperatives  (SACCO) have significantly helped them to improve their economic and social welfare. Andrea Mugabo, a resident of Rugabano Sector in Karongi District, told The New Times that his family’s welfare has greatly improved after he started saving through a locally based sacco.“Previously, I was not able to realise how important it is to join savings cooperatives. The difference now is that I can even acquire a loan so as to further improve the welfare of my family,” he said.
