Abstract
This project report concerns Establishment of Motor Cycle Rider SACCOs in
Butiama District Mara region. The over role objective of this project was to increase
the income level of house hold of the community in order to improve their
livelihood, standard of living and eradicate poverty among its members. The problem
has been caused by a number of factors including limited access to local capital
financing, business training, and dependency syndrome. Cross sectional research
design used in conducting the project. We used variety of research tools including
questionnaires, focus group discussion, interviews and pair wise ranking matrix.
Training was done to 55 members after negotiation with VETA to volunteer on
training. We managed to secure motorcycle loan to 14 community members as a
solution to self-employment to members repayable in one year time. Participatory
approach was used to identify the key problem facing the community, how to
implement the study in collaboration with the intended stakeholders. Participatory
monitoring was also a key issue that mandated every member to be a watch dog to
cooperatives activities. On sustainability point of view, it is assumed that Motorcycle
riders Co operative will continue to work together with the District Council and the
community members of the project in participation, owning the project as theirs in
solving community income problems. Moreover the project in question is in line
with the long-term policies of our government in improving the income for our
communities. The project have already started, in near future could be expanded to
other wards within the District in future as it has shown positive response.
