The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to.

Avasaniaga Self Help Group - Mbale

Avasaniaga Self Help Group - Mbale

Today was the third mobilization sitting for Avasaniaga Self Help Group at Mbale. A group that was formed in 2017 but due to little internal and external motivation suffered breakaway of members.

The group, interimly  chaired by William Agesa and patronized by Elijah Ukiru has embarked on a new leaf to mobilize the many vaSaniaga in Mbale and environs towards the much needed Saniaga interactions for collective development in the area.

To start, members are contributing Ksh 200/- for registration. Ksh 50/- minimum share weekly contributions and Ksh 20/- for snacks during a sitting. A member is required to have a starting share contribution of Ksh. 500/- from where the minimum weekly Ksh. 50/- will be topped in growing one's shares. To be on the safe side, the sitting agreed on focusing on building share capacity and totals before thinking project(s). It was also the same thought on matters table banking and lending. Things that would wait for the group to be firm and members well pulled.

For welfare and the unfortunate loss of a loved one, the meeting agreed on supporting a group member with Ksh. 500/- when a loved one demises. The person should be a member of the member's nuclear family. Mother, father and one's children. This applies to vaSaniga ladies in their marriages. The mother/father-in-law is part of her nuclear family. Or a child under the guardianship of a member to the group. Only that the group discouraged supporting relatives who would otherwise been active to the group and helpful. On great unfortunance of the demise of a member, Ksh. 1000/- a member would be mobilized and given to the immediate next of kin.

On an individual commitment, Mr. Elijah Ukiru  offered a room in one of his premises to for meeting conveniences come an office. Elijah also, aware of Saniaga Sacco mobilization, said there was also room for an office to run the empowerment initiative.
