For years, many ordinary Ugandans, the boda rider, the welder, the tailor, the market vendor, remained excluded from traditional banking systems despite driving the country’s informal economy. In response, the Government of the Republic of Uganda established Emyooga as a community-based financing model designed around organized and disciplined SACCOs within specific trades and enterprise groups. With over UGX 660 billion invested so far, Emyooga is expanding access to capital, financial inclusion and enterprise development for thousands across the country. You do not need a suit to participate — you need organization, discipline and a committed SACCO.
