Who We Are
About Cycle Connect
Equipping Ugandan farmers with the tools to thrive.
Cycle Connect increases incomes for smallholder farmers through productive asset financing and last-mile training. We exist so distance is never a barrier to access and opportunity.
At Cycle Connect, we believe…
…that every person should have access to the necessary tools to truly thrive.
The Problem
The vast majority of farming families in Uganda lack access to basic agricultural tools both due to the physical distance from city centers and their lack of credit needed to invest in these tools.
Our Approach
Cycle Connect is changing this by combining income-generating tools, inclusive financing, and training to create access to economic opportunity for farmers in the last mile.
Assets that unlock productivity and earnings on-farm.
Flexible terms designed for financially excluded farmers.
Last-mile training that helps clients realize full value.
Where We Began
Our journey began with a single bicycle when our founder discovered the empowerment, freedom, and opportunity that a bicycle can bring to a rural family. As a lease-to-own bicycle organization, we saw how bicycles were used to create access to critical resources, increase income, and improve rural livelihoods.
The model worked so well that we decided to apply the same model to more productive assets to give our clients more opportunities to invest in their futures.
Our Work
We are committed to empowering rural farmers with the tools and training to propel forward out of extreme poverty. By offering income-generating assets on inclusive financing terms coupled with last-mile delivery, our team is going the distance to equip Ugandan farmers with the necessary tools to thrive.
Our growing product offering enables Cycle Connect to be a lifetime partner to farmers in the last mile, allowing them to continuously invest in their family’s future year-over-year.
Tools that unlock productivity & earnings.
Terms designed for financially excluded farmers.
We meet clients where they live & work.
