About Besania Sacco

The name Besania or Bethany in English has its origins in the bible. It is a place name, referring to a town near Jerusalem where Jesus often visited. It was a home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha, according to Mat. 21:17, Luke 24:50-51, John chapter 11 and 12. Besania is where Jesus ascended to Heaven after his resurrection. Besania therefore is associated with themes of resurrection, devotion and Jesus divine mission.

In early 1990s Scripture Union of Uganda western region under the leadership of Rev Dr Ben Tumuheirwe had acquired land in Mbarara city near Riheka Guest house and it was named ‘Besania’ because it had become a thriving discipleship and mission outreach center where praying believers would come to spend mornings, evenings and whole nights watching and praying.  When Besania praying believers increased, they were challenged to get together in fellowship, keep together purposely and act together in obeying God by serving people.

Christ transforms persons, families, communities and nations. In order to address the problem of persistent poverty in Christian families  and homes, the core team of Besania praying believers led by Nduhura Benson decided to form Besania brethren development association (BEBDA) with the aim of promoting the spirit of togetherness for purposes of development and fulfilling Christ’s mission of abundant life.

In 2007 Besania brethren development association (BEBDA) decided to form a cooperative society and it was registered as Besania cooperative savings and credit society Ltd. The main objective was to serve man holistically and fulfill Christ’s mission of abundant life. And serving man holistically is possible only when all three dimensions, spiritual, social and economic are addressed together without separating one from the other.

Christ gives us unique weapons of good will, trust, care, passion and respect which are needed to build social capital, moral leadership and promoting diversity to fight behavioral poverty that keeps our society in chains
