How Iringa Hope Works

Iringa Hope helps our members lift themselves out of extreme poverty through a combination of training and education in combination with access to the resources and markets they need to be successful.

Annual Meeting

Village Organizations

Individual villages can form SACCOS and AMCOS

SACCOS

A SACCOS (Savings and Credit Cooperative Society) is a locally owned and operated microfinance cooperative.  Members pool resources and grant small loans that allow the members to better manage and run their farms and businesses.

AMCOS

An AMCOS (Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Society) is a locally owned and operated Farmer’s cooperative.  The AMCOS provides members with access to quality seeds, fertilizer and sprays and helps them market their crops.
