Climb Africa

It's not every day that credit union can change a continent!

In 2022, ACCOSCA and the African Cooperative Development Foundation (ACDF) will take on a major fund-raising campaign to raise $1.2 million to outfit the new ACCOSCA offices and to build a state-of-the-art training academy -- appropriately called The ACCOSCA Academy. The Academy will distinguish itself by attracting well-known and respected credit union practitioners and researchers to provide the highest quality of training programs and certifications. The ACCOSCA Academy will benefit African credit union leaders from National Associations, SACCOs, legislators, regulators, and the community at large. Doing so will provide a first of it’s kind training center that will improve training standards, enhance skills and build strong governance and leadership programs resulting in sustainable SACCOS. The this center of learning will strengthen and grow the African SACCO system while at the same time improve the lives and livelihoods of the African People.  

In October 2022, the CLIMB AFRICA Campaign will culminate with a climb of Mount Kilimanjaro along side community development work in Kenya and Malawi. 

I am proud to participate in the CLIMB AFRICA Campaign because of my passion for education and the growth of the credit union movement around the world. Your donation is appreciated as it will help reach our collective goal of changing a continent through education.
