ACCOSCA Stands in Solidarity with the Cooperative Fraternity and Families Affected by Utumishi Girls Academy Tragedy
NAIVASHA โ KENYA, 28 MAY 2026 (ACCOSCA) - On behalf of the Board and Management of ACCOSCA, we extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, students, staff, and the entire Utumishi Girls Academy community following the devastating fire tragedy in Kenya.
This heartbreaking incident has caused immense pain and sorrow, not only to the affected families but also to the wider cooperative fraternity across Africa that fondly remembers Utumishi Girls Academy for hosting delegates during the 2024 SACCA Congress.
The school has continued to benefit from the goodwill and sustained support of credit unions in the region, notably the Kenya National Police DT SACCO @police_sacco, whose partnership and support has played a significant role in advancing the institutionโs development and welfare. Utumishi Girls Academy became part of a shared legacy of hope and sustainability through the planting of over 10,000 trees alongside members of the African cooperative movement during the 2024 SACCA Congress.
Today, we mourn the loss of young, bright, and promising lives whose futures were tragically cut short. During this difficult moment, we stand in solidarity with all those affected and convey our sincere sympathies to every family carrying the weight of this profound loss.
May the memories of the departed continue to inspire strength and unity, and may comfort, healing, and peace be granted to all who grieve.

GABORONE โ BOTSWANA, 21 MAY 2026 (ACCOSCA) โ As Africa continues to prioritize inclusive economic growth and citizen-centered financial systems, ACCOSCA continues to provide leadership in championing cooperative transformation, financial wellness, and sustainable financial empowerment across the continent.
Through strategic partnerships, policy advocacy, leadership development, and institutional capacity building, ACCOSCA continues to work closely with governments, regulators, and cooperative stakeholders to strengthen National Associations across Africa as a pathway toward financial inclusion, economic resilience, and improved quality of life for African citizens.
The Speaker of the National Assembly of Botswana BWParliament, Hon. Dithapelo L. Keorapetse, together with the Clerk of the National Assembly, Dr. Gabriel Malebang, received ACCOSCA leadership led by Executive Director Mr. George Ombado and ACCOSCA Board Chairperson Madam Jeanette Makgolo, alongside leadership from Botswana Savings and Credit Cooperative Association led by CEO Mrs. Kefilwe Masalila and BOSCCA Chairperson Madam Karabo Morule-Tsegobye, at the Parliament of Botswana BWParliament for high-level discussions focused on strengthening cooperative systems and advancing financial wellness initiatives for the people of Botswana.
During the strategic engagement, Hon. Speaker applauded ACCOSCA for its continued efforts in reviving and strengthening national cooperative associations across Africa, including the ongoing institutional strengthening of BOSCCA.
He noted that a stronger Botswana Savings and Credit Cooperative Association translates into stronger SACCOs across Botswana, ultimately enhancing financial literacy, expanding access to affordable financial services, empowering communities, and strengthening the long-term sustainability of the cooperative movement in the country.
The engagement further reaffirmed ACCOSCA as a critical continental pillar in the growth, modernization, and sustainability of credit unions and SACCOs across Africa.
Through its expanding cooperative influence, ACCOSCA continues to play a transformative role in shaping resilient, inclusive, and people-centered financial systems that empower millions of Africans to achieve greater financial wellness, dignity, and economic freedom through cooperative finance.
