About Us

Our Story

UPSTU MEMBERS’ SACCO was started as a fundraising group in early 2020 to collect money for funding registration of UPSTU union and paying office rent. Members agreed to collect money and be used by the union but it would be refunded back later when the union stabilizes.

Thanks to God that the Union was registered in December 2020 and started getting funds from its members through subscription therefore being able to not only pay back the borrowed funds to the SACCO but also support it in many ways.

UPSTU MEMBERS’ SACCO was registered by the Ministry of Trade and Industry on 26/11/2020 and obtained a probationary certificate. It was then issued with a permanent certificate March 2023. Special thanks goes to the founding executive board led by founding chairperson Mr. Elong Vicent and founding Secretary Mr. Mugaiga Aron for the energy invested to steer the SACCO through its initial stages.
