Kitui’s fast-growing Sacco, BestRock, on Wednesday 31th July 2024, held a highly anticipated education day for its members in Kitui Central at the multipurpose hall. The event, held on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, was the first in a series of educational initiatives aimed at empowering members with knowledge on investment matters.
Catherine Mutia, the Sacco’s marketing and education officer, spearheaded the event, urging attendees to embrace and promote the SACCO’s shared prosperity concept. This education drive is set to continue next week in Mwingi and Mutomo, reflecting BestRock’s commitment to comprehensive member engagement across the region.
During her address, Catherine Mutia challenged the members to take an active role in spreading the word about BestRock Sacco. “The onus is on us to speak about BestRock SACCO,” she emphasized. “You have access to people in your persuasive capacities; talk to them about the SACCO. Encourage them to join the SACCO.”
This rallying call was met with enthusiasm, as members acknowledged the importance of collective effort in growing the Sacco’s membership base and enhancing its impact on the community.
BestRock Sacco, headquartered in Kitui Town, has a rich history of service dating back to its registration as Kitui Biashara Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited in 1999. The rebranding to BestRock Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited on February 20, 2013, marked a significant milestone in its evolution, aligning its identity with its expanded vision.
Today, BestRock operates extensively within the Lower Eastern Kenya region, covering Kitui, Machakos, and Makueni Counties. This expansion has allowed the Sacco to offer its beneficial services to a broader demographic, enhancing financial inclusion and investment opportunities in these areas.
The education day also featured fruitful discussions led by the Sacco’s CEO, who engaged with members on various investment strategies and opportunities. The interactive sessions provided a platform for members to ask questions, share experiences, and gain insights into making informed investment decisions.
The success of this event underscores BestRock Sacco’s dedication to not only offering financial services but also equipping its members with the knowledge and tools necessary for financial growth and sustainability.
