Empowering Farmers With The Tools, Knowledge and Credit To Grow
We transform traditional farming into a sustainable path to prosperity, providing the inputs, expertise and connections that make success possible.
Discover Our Model
Saving for Prosperity in Uganda
At Akeyo, we start with the proven power of savings groups and add what farmers need to thrive. Our "Savings Group+" model adds access to high-yielding seeds, essential tools and practical video training to move groups from savings to transformation.
Instead of building costly new infrastructure, we strengthen the savings groups and local suppliers already woven into the community.
The Akeyo Effect: Stronger Savings, Thriving Farmers
Since launching in May 2024, our approach has been yielding results.
250+
Savings groups strengthened, creating reliable financial ecosystems for thousands of farmers.
70+
Local agents equipped and earning, providing expert training and last-mile distribution.
Quality Access
High-yielding seeds and quality organic fertiliser now locally available and affordable for the first time.
Agents report their groups are more unified and financially stronger. This is the foundation for lasting change.
Real Farmers, Real Growth
Hassan Kato is a farmer and savings group member in Uganda. With a loan from his savings group and support from Akeyo, he now grows high-yield green pepper turning a small investment into a reliable source of income for his family.
Stories like Hassan's show what happens when the right tools, training and financial access come together.
A New Model for Development
Our method is different. The end goal is a sustainable social enterprise, not a temporary project.
We combine field-level innovation with a unique "Accountability by Sales" principle that ensures our work is always driven by farmers' real needs. Farmers choose to pay for our services because they create real, measurable value.
This creates a powerful loop: every training and product we offer is genuinely needed, our agents earn a dignified income and the savings groups become sustainable and scalable.
