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).

Kamnara (Saniaga) Self Help Group - Iduku

Kamnara (Saniaga) Self Help Group met at Iduku for their monthly group meetings. They meet every 4th day of the month, and have been active since April. Prior on there was an official group which became defunct due to lack of internal and external motivation and such other errors that would have been avoided.

Well attended and of good participants, the group is disciplined both in procedure and talk. Laban Otwombe is the chairperson.

A new member registers by Ksh. 100. He or she then pays Ksh. 10/- to cater for stationery. Monthly, it is Ksh. 100/- a member contribution. As part of building individual's share money and group's capacity. Ksh. 10/- is extra given monthly to facilitate communication from the secretary to the group members. Unless otherwise, Ksh. 300/- a member is given when a member is in great need or bereaved.

Their procedure of meeting is by members being settled by 2pm. Any other member who arrives after that is penalized Ksh. 10/-. An opening prayer is said. Agenda starts by preliminaries and reading of previous minutes. The above payments are part of the agenda that follows. After which there is a lesson about 'Traditions and Customs' before AOB. Where members can say what else they wanted to say before the meeting comes to an end.

So far there are 91 members. As every member registers, he or she is given a number. The chairperson, in this group, is always read as first. To show the lead in payments, time keeping and all other group procedures.

The group is still building on its number of members as more keep joining monthly. Their target is 300 members. A member is requested to reach others who are not yet in the group and by joining, all will be on the same leaf as one people.

This is encouraging of them as all other Saniaga groups. Such good organization and will will make it easier for us to spur in the right direction with least effort. May they keep on strongly and through the group benefit both in knowledge and providence that we so desire.

/-With Thanks
