About the RMU Staff Welfare Fund

Our history, mission, and commitment to every member.

Our Mission

To provide accessible, equitable, and transparent welfare support to all registered staff members, ensuring financial security and peace of mind for members and their families during times of need.

Our Vision

To be the most trusted, member-focused welfare cooperative in Ghana – a scheme where every member feels genuinely supported, valued, and heard in every aspect of their welfare journey.

How We Started

The RMU Staff Welfare Fund was founded in 2001 by a small group of dedicated employees who recognised the need for a structured, member-driven welfare fund. What began as a grassroots initiative has grown into one of the most reputable staff welfare cooperatives in Ghana.

Over the years, we have grown our total assets to GHC 6 million, onboarded 186+ active members, and expanded our benefit categories. Every decision we make is guided by our Constitution and our unwavering commitment to our members.
