On 24th February 2026, United Civil Servants SACCO proudly launched its Mponela Branch at the heart of Mponela, marking a significant milestone in the institution's continued growth and expansion.


The event was officially graced by the Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Malawi, Mr. Henry Mathanga, who served as Guest of Honour. In his keynote address, he recommended United Civil Servants SACCO as the torchbearer among all SACCOs in Malawi. He commended the institution for its remarkable achievements, strong governance, and financial discipline, describing it as a shining example of resilience and sustainable growth within the country's cooperative financial sector.


The CEO of Malawi Union of Savings and Credit Cooperatives (MUSCCO), Mr. Fumbani Nyangulu, also applauded the SACCO for raising the standards of the SACCO movement in Malawi. He praised its leadership, innovation, and consistent growth, further acknowledging the United Civil Servants SACCO Board as one of the most organized and influential boards within the cooperative movement.


The Board Chair of United Civil Servants SACCO, Mr. Fletcher Mhango, expressed pride in the SACCO's achievements and growth trajectory. He highlighted the unity between the Board, Management, and the members as the foundation of the institution's success and reaffirmed the Board's commitment to sound governance and strategic leadership.



In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer of United Civil Servants SACCO, Mr. Francis Waliwa, assured members and stakeholders of the SACCO's continued growth and national impact. He emphasized that the institution remains financially strong and forward-looking. Mr Waliwa also introduced the new diaspora membership initiative, which will allow Malawians living abroad to save and invest through the SACCO, contributing to increased foreign exchange inflows and supporting Malawi's economic development.


The launch of the Mponela Branch therefore stands as a testament to United Civil Servants SACCO's unwavering commitment to growth, excellence, and member empowerment across the nation.

United Civil Servants SACCO (UCS SACCO) has yet again stamped its obligation on climate action by planting trees worth millions. Speaking during UCS SACCO’S tree planting exercise at Kaphala Primary School in T/A Mazengera in Lilongwe, guest of honour at the event who is the Executive Director for African Cooperative Development Foundation (ACDF); a philanthropic arm of the African Confederation of Cooperative Savings and Credit Associations (ACCOSCA) and also Head of programs at ACCOSCA Grace Watsiera, said UCSSACCO is bridging the financial gap in Africa and meeting community needs to align with the slogan of β€˜Changing lives’.β€œACCOSCA being a mother body of all SACCOs in Africa is committed to build a sustainable continent, and planting trees is part and parcel of that sustainability model. As SACCOs, we are mandated to changing lives; one life at a time. We want an African continent that is financially self-reliant. Nevertheless, we need to create a conducive environment that enables development to prevail,” said Watsiera.For his part, UCS SACCO’s Chief Executive Officer Francis Waliwa, described the green initiative as one way of dealing with climate change, and therefore, giving back to the society.β€œAs a financial institution, we are not limited to financial operations as we also have a responsibility to restore nature through the planting of trees. We also have a role of making sure that we are not just planting but rather growing trees. "We will work hand-in-hand with the community and the school authorities in making sure that the planted trees are well taken care of through consistent watering. We are therefore, projecting a 95% growth rate for our trees,” said Waliwa.β€œI urge every Malawian to exercise a patriotic responsibility of planting trees, not as an involuntary action but with an informed understanding of the role of trees in our day-to-day lives. As UCS SACCO, we are interested in instilling a mindset change on environmental stewardship in the communities we serve,” Waliwa added.Councillor for Sanjiko-Mazengera Ward, Paul Msiska Khongoni, gladly welcomed the initiative, describing UCS SACCO’s Green Initiative as a powerful tool to complement government efforts towards sustainable development and environmental stewardship.

Dr. Grace Kafulatira, a retired civil servant who previously served as a head teacher at Lilongwe Girls Secondary School before assuming incumbency at the ministry of education where she served as the Director of Education and Sports in Lilongwe urban, is a member of United Civil Servants SACCO (UCS SACCO) since 2023. When UCS SACCO introduced the SACCO concept to her, she was amazed by UCS SACCO’s exercise of corporate social responsibility, UCS Mobile, as well as the SACCO’s propensity to accommodate retired civil servants.β€œI joined UCS SACCO because it is the only SACCO in Malawi that welcomes retirees through its retiree’s portfolio and it allows you to access loans to establish small scale businesses. I for one is of the impression that a retired civil servant cannot be a bad debtor. Of note, USC Mobile is a good digital innovation for retirees.” Said Dr Kafulatira.β€œGood customer management is a great marketing tool provided you couple it with uniqueness in service delivery and this is where UCS SACCO excels as its services are unique and tailored to satisfy customer needs. For instance, I was able to easily access a loan of millions when I was buying paint during the construction of my B&B. More pleasing was the swift pace with which my loan was processed,” added Dr. Kafulatira. Dr. Kafulatira said her soon to be launched B&B is a source of employment thereby contributing to the realization of the country’s blue print, Malawi 2063.
