Artisanal miners in Lolupe, Turkana North, have formed the Jatann Cooperative Society Limited, the first SACCO dedicated to artisanal miners in the area, to boost economic empowerment.
The cooperative formally received its registration certificate from the Directorate of Cooperatives and Marketing during a ceremony officiated by the County Executive for Trade, Enterprise Development, and Cooperative Management, Roseline Aite.
Jatann Cooperative joins a growing network of SACCOs in Turkana, presently with more than 65 cooperative societies established recently in various sectors of the economy.
This is part of the county government's broader strategy to promote economic resilience through cooperative models.
