Guides and educational material to help you understand how FamilySave Initiative actually works, free to download.
This page is for anyone who wants to genuinely understand how community-based borrowing and saving works before joining, applying, or bringing their own SACCO onto the platform — not just a summary, but the real detail: how a guarantor's commitment actually works, how credit tiers are built loan by loan, how share capital and dividends fit together, and what a branch admin is actually responsible for day to day.
Everything below is a free PDF, published by the platform's administrators, kept current as the system itself evolves. No login required — download whatever's useful to you.
Reading is one way to understand this platform - using it is another. Our demo branch is real, working, and capped at just 15 members, so you can apply for a loan, deposit savings, and try the share capital marketplace without committing to anything.
