We made our way out to the Fodya
SACCO today. This SACCO is closed bond
to employees of the Alliance One Tobacco company. We started the day meeting some of the Board
of Directors then spent the remainder of the day with the staff Brian and
Rita. This is a small SACCO with only
two staff members and 5 Board of Directors.
They have 440 members and are looking for ways to compete with the two
other Tobacco company SACCO’s. As the
branch is very small we spent most of the day sitting outside the branch
reading policies and talking with members.
It was a very good day and we got to meet a lot of members. We also learned the proper hand shake greeting
for here in Malawi. We are moving into the weekend and will be spending
Saturday and Sunday touring around Malawi and will be back with the Fodya on
Monday morning. I hope everyone has a
great weekend and will start posting my blog again on Monday!
