YICE Uganda

Supporting sustainable agriculture with training and fair loans
2016 SAG-SEED Award Ganador Sustainable Agriculture Kampala, Uganda

Farmers purchase a USD 0.30 annual subscription to be a member of a small farming group, receiving farming tips and training in addition to flexible loans with favourable terms. Thirty percent of the loans are given to the farmers as farm inputs and seventy percent in cash. The groups also receive training on savings, forming savings groups to ensure a sustainable income source. Mobile phone technology is used to relay agricultural information and collect loan repayments.
