Opportunity, not poverty
We believe in the entrepreneurial spirit
“Deki believes that everyone should have the opportunity to work their way out of poverty, to create a better future for their families and to have the chance to change their lives and the lives of those around them.” Vashti Seth, Founder & CEO
It is our mission to empower communities to be free from absolute poverty and we invest in the future of hardworking entrepreneurs by providing ethical micro loans, alongside business training and community development projects.
Deki’s community groups wish to develop sustainable livelihoods and become financially resilient.
They’re enterprising people with big dreams, but with little opportunity.
By sponsoring a rural community in Togo, you can be part of the solution. A hand up, not a hand-out
Let our beautiful animation take you on the journey of a Deki loan.
