Using Your SACCO to Pay Your Children’s School Fees

Ksh 1 Million Every Year Without Stress!

What if you could use your SACCO to set up a fund that pays your child’s school fees without ever going back to your pocket?

And when your children are done with school, the same income stream continues paying you during retirement.

Sounds ridiculously unreal?

I know.

But let me show you how it works.

The Strategy

1. Choose the Right SACCO

Start by selecting a solid SACCO with:

Strong corporate governance

Consistent dividend history

Attractive net returns on share capital and deposits

Let’s assume the SACCO pays:

15% on Share Capital

11% on Deposits

2. Define the Goal

Ask yourself:

How much school fees do I need every year?

Let’s assume your target is:

Ksh 1,000,000 per year

3. Build the Capital That Generates the Fees

Now structure your SACCO portfolio to produce that income.

Share Capital

Ksh 100,000 × 15%

= Ksh 15,000

Deposits

Ksh 9,000,000 × 11%

= Ksh 990,000

Total Annual Dividends:

Ksh 1,005,000

Your school fees are now covered.

What This Means

You need approximately:

Ksh 9.1 Million in your SACCO

Once this capital is built, the dividends pay the school fees every year.

Your capital remains intact.

You are no longer stressed by school fees.

And here is the beauty of it.

After your children finish school…

The same Ksh 1M yearly dividends can now fund your retirement income.

One strategy.

Two problems solved.

School Fees

Retirement Income

And we haven’t even talked about the real weapon inside a SACCO.

Your Credit Power.

That same SACCO can allow you to access affordable credit to acquire income-generating assets that produce even more passive income.

Think about it this way.

Stop treating your SACCO like a place where you only go to:

Take emergency loans

Pay school fees

Finance consumption

Instead…

Treat it like a dividend-generating machine.

A financial engine that works for you every year.

As I always emphasize in my wealth framework, wealth is not just about earning more — it’s about structuring your money to work for you consistently.
