Operations in Uganda

Agriculture is the mainstay of the Ugandan economy, accounting for 24 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), employing two-thirds of the labor force, and providing half of export earnings. With 84 percent of the population still living in rural areas, agriculture is the main source of income and, by extension, the main pathway out of poverty for the majority of Ugandans. The vast majority of refugees also rely on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Unfortunately, in a country rich with agricultural potential, less than 10% of commercial bank credit and 4% Government budget is allocated to the industry. The Commercial banks which are usually far from the reach of the farmers cannot offer Loans to farmers especially Youth and women sighting lack of financial history and Collateral security and these farmers have been Rated Risky.

This situation has forced farmers to use domestic labor, rudimentary means of farming and reuse seed, which has affected their yields

Our Ability to Offer “Offer the easiest credit services access to farmers and small scale traders by mobile and web based tools that fit the needs of the Local Communities” comes a long way in increasing production and productivity of this class of people hence enable them generate sustainable incomes through improving the profitability of their enterprises save to respond to future shocks and build sustainable livelihoods. This will enable communities to improve the quality of lives and an opportunity to escape the cycle of poverty.
