Award recipients
In 2011, AllAfrica.com reported that a teacher's credit union or SACCO, the Masaku Teachers and Savings and Credit Society, had won the "Majestic Five Continents Award for Quality & Excellence" presented by Otherways Management Association. The article noted that it was the second such award that the SACCO had won within a month, and that "The two trophies could not have come at a better time" in light of the fact that the co-op had been on the brink of collapse five years prior due to "high-level corruption and mismanagement".
