📖
OUR HISTORY

Sagrema foundation was founded and expanded by Samuel Ochieng Odoyo, Grace Akinyi Ochieng and Meroline Akinyi Ochieng in the year 2016 as a branch of Sagrema self-help group which was by then just a family group, to help members approach and fight the unfortunate issues that befalls families in unison, through micro finance savings and borrowings with the spirit of working together and lending a hand to one another.

It was with the same philanthropic spirit after gaining experience in what was taking place in Sagrema self-help group, that the foundation was formed to extend and include a larger population from the minority within Suba community along the shore and inland of the Islands of Lake Victoria and outreach to the disadvantaged and less privileged community members.
