Our February 1% will supply 29 small business loans to entrepreneurs in western Uganda changing the lives of 174 people. To date we've made an incredible £183K worth of loans to 1,193 different entrepreneurs in seven countries. As all this money gets repaid it gets reused to help more budding businesses, meaning even more communities can be transformed with our 1%.

Deki tackles the root cause of poverty by providing ethical micro loans at grass roots level, coupled with business management and financial literacy training, as well as community development activities. They work in rural and hard to reach areas with those who are excluded from traditional financial services and the training that they need to develop sustainable livelihoods, become financially resilient and create brighter futures for the next generation They deliver projects that focus on sustainable change by helping people to help themselves. These include women's empowerment workshops, youth support programmes and health initiatives giving communities access to health care through affordable health insurance.
