Sensitization & Assessment
We meet farmers in their communities, explain the product, and assess whether the asset fits their livelihood needs.
What We Do
Cycle Connect increases income for smallholder farmers through productive asset financing, low barrier loan terms, practical training, and last-mile support.
Our Model
We are on a mission to increase income for smallholder farmers in East Africa through productive asset financing and training. Our unique blend of assets, inclusive financing, and field-based support connects farmers to the tools they need to move forward.
How It Works
When selecting our assets, we only choose tools that will help farmers increase income through added efficiencies. By testing every product to measure its impact, we can assess whether it will be a worthwhile investment for a farmer.
We’ve devised our terms and conditions to respond to the unique needs of our deep-rural customers. That means our loans are all designed to responsibly lower the adoption threshold so more farmers can access our income-producing assets.
Cycle Connect is committed to going the last mile to ensure farmers have the opportunity to invest in their future. We meet our customers where they are – from the very first step of sensitization all the way to their last repayment.
Last-Mile Journey
Our model is built around the realities of farmers living in the last mile. We stay close throughout the full customer journey.
