Identified 17 Saniaga groups so far - with leadership in place


There is need for more groups to be formed as we celebrate the above.

We don't have Saniaga cells in the places below;- 

- Handidi
- Chango
- Inavi/Mahanga/Madzuu
- Madira/Kituru/Muhanda
- Lunyerere/Igunga
- Gavudia/Mweywe
- Et al

The importance of being in a group is that you know the well being of your kins as they know yours. You get a chance to share and shape agendas for the betterment of your heritage/background. One should never be too important to meet kins or too low to feel out of place.  

In case of help as funerals, the cells are the ones to assist and give comfort. When in joy welcome your kindred always. It is a sure way of feeling at home. And when Saniaga Organization grows the cells are sure way to act as positive change agents. 

Cultivate this early in life. Do not wait till you are old... You will really be out of place. Aim to associate and know the whereabouts of your kins while still young. 🤗.
