About Deki
With Deki you can make small, ethical, life-changing loans to those in remote and marginalised communities. Helping them create their own, successful business and work their way out of poverty. 100% of your loan will go to your chosen entrepreneur and you can lend as little as £10.
Deki works with Field Partners in Ghana, South Africa, Togo, Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan helping to provide small scale loans to traditionally ‘un-bankable’ entrepreneurs who would otherwise lack access to financial resources. The training and support they offer gives your entrepreneurs the skills to make the most out of their loan, and break the cycle of poverty.
Deki loans are generated through our innovative peer-to-peer lending website; 100% of the money goes to the entrepreneur with no fees or interest charged by Deki. As loans are repaid by successful entrepreneurs, UK-lenders then reinvest in the same or other individuals. Fundraising for operational costs is essential in maintaining the 100% model.
