Operating under Uganda's Co-operative Societies Act, Walimu Cooperative Union provides comprehensive microcredit support, business services, and vocational training tailored to teachers' needs. It partners with government ministries and the Uganda National Teachers' Union (UNATU) to implement large-scale economic support programs, recently expanding into health insurance to address educators' medical needs and reduce absenteeism. The union structures its operations across ten sub-regions, ensuring accessible services through localized offices and community-focused initiatives.
