Abstract
This research report was premised on the scholarly desire to examine the effects of women SACCOs on the increase of household income levels. This study specifically looked at an examination of the contributions of women’s SACCOs to Household income; the challenges faced by Women SACCO members in their endeavor to enhance household income, and to discuss strategies that can be used to mitigate the challenges faced by women SACCOs in increasing family incomes in Oli Central Division. From the literature surveyed, some scholars have linked SACCOs rather to the bulging rural debt burden. However, most scholars have inclined to the argument that SACCOs are an avenue for rural income access and stability. However, given the division in worldview of the nexus between these variables studied herein, this piece using a mixed research design, examined as stated in the topic how SAACOs shape the increase of household income particularly in Oli Central Division. Data to respond to these queries was obtained both qualitatively using interviews and focused group discussions, and quantitatively using questionnaires from a total of 52 respondents. The study found out that Women SACCOs do contribute to the ability of the members in increasing and or improving their respective household incomes. it was also found that, the SACCOs members do face challenges that constrain them from enhancing the income of their households. The study was also able to obtain some ways forward to mitigate the said challenges in order to enhance the ability of the members to contribute to increased household income.
