SEFCU has committed to become a 2007 supporter of the World Council of Credit Unions, Inc (WOCCU). For more than 30 years WOCCU has been at the forefront of alleviating poverty around the world. Credit unions provide a not-for-profit, self-sustaining structure that enables people to end the cycle of poverty.

- Free themselves of debt bondage from drug growers in Afghanistan
- Receive much needed money transfer in Ecuador from abroad, and
- Ensure the safety of their savings in Rwanda
