dc.description.abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of member ethical values’ education on loans of SACCOS and sustainability. The study was carried out in Uasin-Gishu County where there is persisting cases of non-performing loans. Cross-sectional research design was used. The target population was all SACCOS in Uasin-Gishu County. Twenty-four SACCOS were picked whereby non-performing loans were analysed before a SACCOS taking member ethical values sensitization education and after. Further, member ethical values educational sensitization was measured using co-operative ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Qualitative data were analysed using content technique while quantitative data were measured using binary logistic regression. The findings indicate that member ethical values education on loans has a positive significant relationship with SACCOS’ sustainability; p-values were less than 0.05. The study concluded that member’s ethical values education plays a critical role on SACCOS’ sustainability. The behaviour of an individual towards a loan taken was determined by the personal ego; that is, the mindset which dictates individual consciousness on behaviour; hence, commitment to repay. The study recommends to SACCOS’ Managers, Ministry of Fisheries, Livestock and Co-operative Development to provide continuous SACCOS’ ethical values’ sensitization education so as to improve co-operative performance on loans en_US
