Deki tackles the root cause of poverty in remote and hard to reach communities by creating long-term, sustainable change through providing ethical micro loans at grass roots level, coupled with business and community development training. Almost half the world lives on less than £1.50 a day. Yet these are honest, hardworking people motivated by the same things as most of us: they want to make something of their lives, feed their families and send their children to school. With the capital sponsorship gifts can offer, they can start a business and turn their lives around. Together we can empower them to work their way out of poverty. 100% model 100% of sponsorship funds go directly towards the communities to enable them to develop a sustainable livelihood for their families and help their community become financially resilient. Multiplying impact Your sponsorship gift keeps on giving. It gets converted into micro loans and distributed to the community. As the micro-loan gets re-paid, it then gets re-distributed back into the community to support local businesses once again. This cycle can happen numerous times over a few years. Local people We work with carefully selected local partners to ensure the communities get the most out of your sponsorship and get the right support to start and grow their businesses. Business training We work with local experts to provide group members with business and community development training to help give the community every chance of success. Grass roots focus We focus on small community groups in remote, hard to reach regions. Sponsorship makes a huge difference in developing sustainable livelihoods and allow people and communities to flourish with dignity and pride.
