Our History
A journey of growth since 2004
Rushere Cooperative Savings and Credit Society Ltd, formerly known as Rushere Co-operative Savings and Credit Development Association, was renamed in 2004 with a renewed mission to provide financial services to the rural active poor in Rushere and surrounding areas of Kiruhura District. Established as a company limited by share capital and owned by shareholders from Nyabushozi County, the SACCO has grown to over 18,000 active and fully paid-up members across districts such as Kiruhura, Ssembabule, Kyegegwa, Kamwenge, Ibanda, Mbarara, Kyenjojo, and Lyantonde. It now operates six branches—Rushere, Nyakasharara, Kinoni, Rwemikoma, Sanga, and Kyeibuza—with additional outreach points in Rwemiyaga, Kyera, and Kyenshama, standing as a pillar of financial empowerment and inclusive community development.
