PROFILE Social media has been perceived by many to be just a fun site where many meets to date, Share stories among others, many a times we have been misusing face book by using it as a channel to spread hate speeches to different and opposing political groups, ethnic groups, religion and also currently face book is used by many to conduct various criminal offences. The norm was broken by some intelligent personalities who thought it better to take the opportunity of face book interaction and socializing to a step ahead of using the already population as an opportunity to introduce to them developmental ideas and agenda. There is an existing group in face book (NGERUOK BER, NYISA THURU ANYISI THURWA WAWINJRE WALOS DAK.) where the Sacco idea was introduced and shared for reaction and action therefore, a meeting was scheduled in some of the counties i.e. Migori, Homabay, Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Siaya to discuss on the way forward. Active members adhered to the call and were requested to form a Sacco that would help them invade the market ideas and have a constructive and sustainable financial status of which 95% of more who attended welcomed the idea and promised to soldier on; thereafter a baby was born on 3rd November 2013, and named Homisiki (Homabay, Migori, Siaya, and Kisumu). So far the Sacco has enrolled 169 members on board. However, it has not been an easy task to make people believe on that due to fear of the unknown and trust but the pioneers have never been discovered with the cold, thorny and rocky journey towards development. eradicating the fear of unknown has been a challenge and gaming member`s trust has been a white elephant but with prayers and having the heart of not giving up hence the stability and development of the Sacco is realized.
