The ceremony was graced by the Ntungamo District Commercial Officer, Mr. Ezra Aryanyijuka, who served as the chief guest.
While presiding over the distribution of gifts to the best-performing pupils, Mr. Aryanyijuka commended the Sacco’s management board for its commitment to giving back to its members.
He praised the initiative as a demonstration that the Sacco is dedicated to the holistic well-being of its members and their families, beyond just financial services.
“This initiative by Kyabukuju Twimukye Sacco is commendable. It shows that the Sacco is not just about finances but about the holistic well-being of its members and their families,” Mr. Aryanyijuka stated.
The Sacco Manager, Ms. Edith Nanyondo, took the opportunity to applaud the members for their discipline in maintaining continuous savings and consistently acquiring more shares.
She emphasized that the Sacco’s strength lies in its membership and urged everyone present to serve as ambassadors by encouraging others to join and help the organization grow even stronger.
Ms. Nanyondo also highlighted the Sacco’s impressive expansion, announcing that it now operates four branches: the main branch in Rubaare, as well as branches in Ruhaama, Kashenyi, and Nyanga.
The Vice Chairperson of the Sacco, Mr. Lazarius Musiimenta, explained that the scholarship initiative is a deliberate strategy to return value to loyal members who have supported the Sacco’s growth and liquidity through saving and borrowing.
He reminded members of their financial obligations, urging them to be diligent in repaying loans to maintain a healthy Sacco that can continue providing dividends and support to everyone.
“This is our way of giving back to members who have supported the Sacco’s growth through saving and borrowing, and I urge all members to be diligent in repaying loans so that we remain healthy and can continue providing these dividends and support to everyone,” Mr. Musiimenta said.
Under the Sacco’s long-standing tradition of supporting academic excellence, pupils qualify for awards if their parents are active members who hold a minimum of ten shares, maintain good savings habits, and actively engage in taking and servicing loans.
The deserving pupils who qualified for this year’s awards had attained impressive results in their examinations, scoring from an aggregate of four to eight.
Their hard work was rewarded with practical gifts including mattresses, counter books, and pens, items intended to support their transition to the next level of education.
The Mayor of Rubaare Town Council, Mr. Benson Kansiime, urged members not to become complacent following their children’s success, cautioning that this achievement marks only the beginning of their educational journey.
He tasked parents to maintain their momentum by closely monitoring their children’s progress at the secondary level, rather than celebrating PLE results only to neglect future follow-up.
“We have seen cases where parents celebrate the PLE results but then neglect to follow up on their children’s progress at the secondary level. I task you to maintain this momentum and continue monitoring their education closely,” the Mayor cautioned.
James Ishanga, whose son scored an impressive aggregate of six, spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries. He hailed the board of their Sacco for their unwavering support that encourages both families and their children to work even harder.
He further tasked the awarded pupils to carry the spirit of excellence forward, urging them to continue performing even better as they progress to the next level of their education.
