Stima Sacco has received continental recognition for its role in advancing sustainable finance, after being named the winner of the Financial Leadership and Inclusion Award at the Africa Renewable Energy Awards.
The accolade positions the Sacco among the leading institutions driving accessible and inclusive financing within Africa’s fast-growing renewable energy landscape.
The honour underscores Stima Sacco’s expanding footprint in financing models that enable individuals, institutions, and communities to tap into clean-energy opportunities.
Over the past years, the Sacco has increasingly aligned its lending and investment products with the region’s energy-transition priorities, supporting technologies and enterprises that promote affordability, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
In a statement, the institution noted that the award validates its commitment to designing financial solutions that not only open doors for underserved groups, but also strengthen the broader renewable-energy ecosystem. By providing tailored credit facilities, savings platforms, and partner-driven financing frameworks, Stima Sacco aims to bridge gaps that have historically limited participation in green-energy sectors.
The Sacco extended appreciation to its members, partners, and stakeholders, acknowledging their continued confidence in its mission. Their support, it said, has been instrumental in enabling the institution to scale financial innovations that have meaningful social and environmental impact.
The recognition marks a significant milestone in Stima Sacco’s sustainability journey and reinforces its pledge to remain a catalyst for inclusive economic growth as Africa accelerates its transition to clean and renewable energy.
