Our Products Have the Distinct Ability To:
Reduce Extreme Poverty
Economic growth from agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa is 11x more effective at reducing poverty than any other sector (IFAD).
Financially Include Farmers
82% of Ugandans rely on informal networks to secure credit. For many, our inclusive financing is their first step toward building formal credit history.
Increase Income
When used productively, our assets directly increase income translating to improved access to essential resources and expanded economic opportunities for rural families.
Kick-start Businesses
1 in 3 customers start new businesses after receiving their asset, and 75% use the asset to strengthen an existing business.
Empower Women
Over 42% of our customers are women who are using their assets to invest in their family’s future and drive community change.
Increase Efficiency
Sub-Saharan Africa holds 25% of the world’s arable land but produces only 10% of global agricultural outputs (IFAD). Our products boost farmer productivity and harvest yields.
Generating the Highest Level of Impact
Cycle Connect’s growing offering of income-generating products gives our clients the unique ability to continuously invest in their future to generate the highest level of impact. Our goal is to be a lifetime partner for our clients partnering with them year-over-year to connect them with the tools they need to thrive.
