SayPro is strengthening communities by encouraging the formation of local cooperatives for resource sharing. In partnership with the United States Peace Corps, SayPro supports groups of farmers, artisans, and traders to work collectively for mutual benefit. SayPro believes that cooperatives promote economic inclusion, reduce inequality, and increase resilience. By pooling tools, storage, transport, and market access, members reduce costs and improve their livelihoods. SayPro helps communities build cooperative values like trust, equity, and transparency. These structures empower local economies from the ground up. SayPro ensures that cooperation becomes more than an idea—it becomes a pathway to prosperity.
SayPro offers training on cooperative management, group savings, leadership, and conflict resolution. With Peace Corps support, SayPro provides legal registration assistance and helps groups access startup funds. SayPro connects cooperatives to value chains, financial services, and government programs. Special attention is given to ensuring women, youth, and marginalized groups have equal participation and voice. SayPro supports cooperatives across sectors like agriculture, crafts, services, and clean energy. With democratic principles and shared accountability, SayPro builds organizations that last. SayPro sees each cooperative as a foundation for local empowerment.
SayPro partners with cooperative federations, banks, and development agencies to expand reach and impact. In collaboration with the Peace Corps, SayPro promotes exchange visits where cooperatives share innovations and best practices. These networks create learning communities and build solidarity across regions. SayPro also uses mobile technology to improve record-keeping, communication, and market access. By making cooperatives more efficient and adaptable, SayPro ensures long-term success. SayPro proves that cooperation can be both traditional and modern—rooted in community, yet ready for the future.
SayPro evaluates cooperatives based on membership growth, income improvement, and operational sustainability. With Peace Corps collaboration, SayPro plans to support thousands of new cooperatives across rural and urban areas. SayPro is committed to turning local strengths into shared success. Through collective action, SayPro helps communities take control of their resources, wealth, and futures. SayPro builds not only cooperatives—but the cooperative spirit.
