Empowering people in the developing world to work their way out of poverty through ethical loans, high quality financial, business and social training

About DEKI

Deki is an international development charity working in Togo, West Africa, with a vision for a world of opportunity, not poverty. The charity aims to empower local communities by providing them with the tools they need to become resilient to poverty and the effects of climate change. It enables the communities themselves to be the agents of change by supporting them to work together to build better futures. Through the use of community development projects, education and microfinance, DEKI builds resilient communities, further empowering people in the developing world to work their way out of poverty and to make positive change for themselves.

What Makes DEKI Different?

DEKI is a charity that helps those who can’t afford loans from bigger microfinance institutions, those who really have little, whose children don’t go to school, those who struggle to provide three meals a day, those who are not resilient to famine, natural disasters and diseases. What makes the charity different is that lenders donate directly to their chosen entrepreneur through a 100% model. In fact, just one loan itself benefits an average of 6 people, including and not exclusive of the entrepreneur, the spouse, the children, the relatives living with them, the people they would employ. At DEKI, the training provided is paid by the entrepreneurs which makes them stakeholders/owners of the service.
