Boresha DT SACCO at 50: What Its Latest Size and Membership Figures Show
By Faith Jepkirui | Updated October 1, 2026
Boresha DT SACCO entered its 50th year in 2026 as one of Kenya’s larger deposit-taking cooperatives, with an asset base of KSh14.7 billion as of December 31, 2025, according to the SACCO’s own published profile.
How Boresha grew
The society was registered in August 1976 by 10 members with initial share capital of KSh60,000. It later rebranded from Baringo Teachers SACCO to Boresha SACCO in 2012 as it expanded beyond its original membership base and geographic identity.
Latest published scale
Boresha says it had 93,199 active members, KSh9.98 billion in member savings and deposits, and KSh11 billion in loans to members at the end of 2025.
The SACCO also reported 19 branches across counties including Baringo, Uasin Gishu, Nakuru, Nandi, Laikipia, Elgeyo Marakwet and Trans Nzoia.
Why these figures matter to members
Asset size can show the scale of a SACCO, but members should also look at audited surplus, capital adequacy, loan quality, liquidity and the regulator’s reports when assessing financial strength.
Dividend claims need audited support
An earlier version of this article reported a KSh700 million dividend and interest payout. We have revised the article because that figure could not be independently verified from the official material available during this update. Readers should rely on the SACCO’s audited accounts, AGM resolutions and official member notices for confirmed dividend rates and payout amounts.
What to check before joining or borrowing
- Confirm current licensing and regulatory status.
- Read the latest audited financial statements.
- Compare loan interest, fees and repayment terms.
- Understand share-capital and withdrawal rules.
- Use only official SACCO channels when making payments.
Why official figures are preferable to promotional claims
SACCO announcements often highlight growth and member returns, but the most useful figures are those that can be traced to audited accounts, regulatory filings or official institutional disclosures. That is why this update prioritises verifiable asset, membership, savings and loan figures.
