When we began Plainview Academy, we faced countless financial challenges, especially in paying staff salaries and putting up classrooms. We started small, with only a handful of employees and limited resources. Everything changed when one of Elimu SACCO’s sales team members approached me. I quickly realized that SACCOs offer far more flexible, reliable support than banks. Since joining in 2017, I’ve accessed development loans that have helped us manage salaries, construct classrooms, and expand our school. Today, all my employees are proud Elimu SACCO members. They borrow, save, and guarantee each other, creating a supportive financial community within the school. Thanks to Elimu SACCO, we successfully rolled out Grade 9 last year and continue to grow stronger. The SACCO has truly lifted the financial burden from my shoulders and helped us build a solid foundation for the future.

Elimu SACCO has been a dependable partner throughout my life’s journey. I was introduced to the SACCO by my supervisor shortly after I was employed in 1998, and I officially joined in 1999 with a simple but powerful goal, to save consistently and build a better future. Since then, Elimu SACCO has offered solutions to many of my challenges, especially in educating my children. I have relied on the School Fees and College Loans to pay their tuition and also to fund my own education. Through Elimu SACCO, I was able to complete my Master’s Degree at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, something I am incredibly proud of. The SACCO has also enabled me to build my rural home and purchase several plots of land over the years. These are milestones I never would have imagined achieving so smoothly without the support of Elimu. Elimu SACCO has not just helped me save, it has helped me grow. It’s more than a financial institution to me; it’s a life partner in development and family empowerment.

I joined Elimu SACCO in 2012, and since then, it has been my go-to financial partner. One of the products I value most is the School Fees Loan, which helped me successfully complete my degree. Just three years after joining, I was able to purchase land through the Vision Elimu Loan. Working in county government where salaries sometimes delay, Elimu SACCO has been a lifeline through their timely salary advances. Knowing I can access funds before payday has brought me peace of mind. What I love most is that the SACCO offers affordable loans up to four times my savings, with fast processing that makes it easy to plan and act on opportunities. My savings give me deep satisfaction, knowing I am building a secure future. Whenever I face an emergency, I know I can count on Elimu SACCO. Even better, the SACCO doesn't just lend money, they educate us on financial products, services, and responsible money management. That’s what makes Elimu SACCO more than just a financial institution, it’s a pillar of empowerment.

We joined Elimu SACCO in 2019 with a single goal to save consistently while planning for our children's future. Since then, the SACCO has walked with us every step of the way. Through the Development Loan, we were able to purchase land, and later, my wife furthered her education with the help of the College Loan. Education has always been a priority for our family, and we are proud to say that our children’s schooling has also been supported by Elimu SACCO. Like many families, we were hit hard during the COVID-19 period. Our finances were strained and the uncertainty was overwhelming. But Elimu SACCO came through for us offering multiple loan solutions that helped us stay afloat and regain stability. Elimu SACCO has not just been a financial institution, but a lifeline. It gave us hope in hard times and has become a key pillar in securing our family’s future.

We became members of Elimu SACCO back in 1999, at a time when SACCOs were still few and far between. Even then, Elimu stood out as a reputable and reliable financial institution. Over the years, it has remained our trusted financial partner. In 2007, our family went through a very difficult time, including being evicted from our home. It was an emergency loan from Elimu SACCO that helped us feed our family and reorganize our lives during that crisis. Through school fees loans, we have been able to educate our children without interruption, and with the development loan, we built our current home, a dream come true. Elimu SACCO has not only given us financial stability, but also dignity. I have proudly referred over five people to the SACCO because I believe in it fully. For us, Elimu is not just a SACCO it’s family.

Since joining Elimu SACCO in 2007, I have experienced outstanding financial growth and support. The SACCO's national presence and ability to deliver services right to our doorstep made me confident enough to transfer all my financial services from the bank to Elimu SACCO. Through their efficient FOSA services, which match the convenience of any bank and their member-friendly loan structures, I’ve been able to accomplish goals I once thought were far-fetched. Elimu SACCO has helped me build a permanent home, invest in plant machinery, and provide quality education for my children. My family's overall welfare has improved tremendously, thanks to school fees and development loans accessed through the SACCO. What sets Elimu SACCO apart is not just the financial products, but the reliability and professionalism of their service delivery. It is a SACCO I would proudly recommend to any serious professional seeking empowerment and financial freedom

I became a member of Elimu SACCO in 2005 with one main goal, to educate my sons and daughters. Thanks to the SACCO's unwavering support through products like the School Fees Loan, I now proudly have five graduates in my home. Beyond education, I’ve benefitted from mobile loans, salary advances, and development loans which have empowered me to purchase and develop plots of land and I am now a landlord. The SACCO has also enabled me to fund and grow my businesses, ensuring financial stability even after retirement. Elimu SACCO’s accessibility, especially through mobile loan services, has been a game-changer. I’ve referred several people to the SACCO, including my biological brother, who is now a fellow member. Elimu SACCO has been more than a financial institution, it has been a true partner in uplifting my family, building my wealth, and shaping our future.

Joining Elimu SACCO in 2020 was one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a cook at Shadrack Kimalel, I never imagined I could own both land and a car, but with the support of Elimu SACCO, I made it happen through their Vision Loan. Today, I proudly own a car that's generating income through Uber services and I am also a homeowner. The SACCO has empowered me financially and opened doors I never thought possible. I've been so inspired by my journey that I’ve encouraged several colleagues, both at Shadrack Kimalel and Mbagathi Secondary, to join Elimu SACCO. With continued savings and SACCO support, I’m now planning to acquire a second car. Elimu SACCO is truly a partner in progress.
