Mr. Josephat Waweru, a dedicated teacher at Mahinga Primary School in Limuru sub-county, understands the pain of financial loss and the power of a fresh start. He once burnt his fingers by investing in a financial institution whose returns were low. This left him devastated and uncertain about the future. But even in the face of adversity, Mr. Waweru never gave up.
His turning point came when the marketing team from Mentor Sacco visited his school and introduced him to a new opportunity. Inspired by the success stories of fellow teachers, he decided to join Mentor Sacco, opening a new chapter in his life.
The beginning of a new chapter
Mr. Waweru became a Mentor Sacco member five years ago. Since then, he has not only recovered financially, but also begun achieving dreams that once felt out of reach.
“My daughter is now in Kiriri Women’s University thanks to financial support from Mentor Sacco,” he says proudly. Beyond education, the Sacco has also enabled him to invest in other personal projects that have strengthened his financial stability.
He now channels his salary through the Sacco and commends its reliability and efficiency. “Their services are efficient, very convenient, and I’m very happy,” he shares with a smile.
Planning for a better future
Mr. Waweru is focused not only on short-term recovery , but also long-term growth. With the solid financial backing of Mentor Sacco, he is now planning to purchase a station wagon vehicle for business. “I know I will make it,” he says confidently.
Mentor Sacco’s wide range of products and services; including share capital investment and structured savings, provide a sustainable pathway for members to secure their future. Mr. Waweru believes that real financial planning goes beyond meeting daily needs; it’s about building a foundation that anticipates opportunity, withstands challenges, and creates lasting progress.
A message to the community
Having walked through the pain of loss and the joy of recovery, Mr. Waweru now actively encourages others to make the right choices. “I would advise my colleagues to join Mentor Sacco and build their lives,” he says.
