A financial cooperative is getting its members ready for the new year. Hijaz Community SACCO held a meeting to reactivate accounts, focusing on what they call sustained transformation. The five-year-old group provides Islamic banking services, aiming to help lower-income people, widows, and young adults.
The managing director, Rathia Nalwanga, said the organization has assisted many people in reaching financial goals over the past half-decade. She urged both current and new members to join or update their accounts. She noted the SACCO is officially registered and regulated by the national microfinance authority. Their services include savings plans, loans, and group investment options, all following Sharia law.
With more than five thousand accounts, the cooperative prioritizes empowering women and other vulnerable groups. The effort looks to build economic involvement and long-term security for Uganda's Muslim community.
