Deki believes that everyone should have the opportunity to work their way out of poverty and to have the chance to change their lives and the lives of those around them.
Working in the Maritime region of Togo, the charity works alongside their local partner, IADES-Togo, to support rural communities to become financially resilient.
The charity provides access to ethical micro loans which are supported by continuous business development training and community workshops. These run fortnightly and make sure that all entrepreneurs have the tools and knowledge they need to manage their loans confidently and to make their business a success.
Workshops include inventory management, customer relations, basic bookkeeping, product promotion and the dangers of selling on credit. They also deliver gender rights workshops to empower women to become leaders in their homes and communities.
