Biva Muntuyo Saving Group

This particular savings group is comprised of members from Special Group in ROWAN. They are part of the Bwalula zone and just began saving early this year. They started with a minimum of 2000 Uganda shillings and a maximum of 10,000 shillings. For 2016, they have made a goal of saving five million shillings amongst the members. Several of the members have given testimonies of how loan acquisition has benefited their lives and families. they are so proud of the savings they have amassed and how the culture of savings has improved among the members.
