Asili Deposit Taking Sacco Society Limited, taking a huge leap in performance across board, pulled a major stunt in membership as 3,500 more were added into the fold in the year ended December 2023.
In financial reports released by the Sacco National Chairman Evans Kegode Aluda during the Sacco Annual Delegates Meeting (AGM) in KICD Nairobi, the astounding number was gathered from Kenya Forest Rangers, trainees and cadets.
This increased the membership from 7,714 in 2022 to 11,901 in the year under review.
The chairman said the newly employed Kenya Forest Service staff are young and will pick the mantle from retirees to steer the Sacco to greater heights.
“We are actively engaging and attracting these young people to secure their future. They will bring fresh ideas, energy and technological skills that will drive innovation and foster continued growth of our society,” the Chair noted.

Focusing on increasing membership by coming up with unique products, the aim is to address the diverse needs of each demographic.
As a response to its rapid expansion, the Sacco has also opened membership to registered groups and institutions.
Nairobi County Director of Co-operatives Dolphine Aremo, who graced the occasion, urged the delegates to build their savings as a way of reducing external borrowing and increasing their financial expediency.
