Additional Information

Deki empowers people living in poverty to create sustainable livelihoods by providing access to microloans and training.We enable lenders to make loans of anything from £10 to a chosen entrepreneur and get repaid in 6-12 months. We work with field partners, who help people generate sustainable incomes and become self-sufficient. The small sums of money, when combined with the commitment of our entrepreneurs, can transform lives and whole communities.We charge no interest and take no commission from loans. We rely solely on donations to cover running costs and enable us to continue connecting entrepreneurs and investors around the world. We use carefully-vetted field partners to pass on loans to borrowers in their local currency. Field partners pass on minimal interest rates to help cover running costs and ensure sustainability. Rates are monitored to ensure they are fair and affordable.Deki currently works in Malawi, Togo, Ghana and Nepal.We currently have a 100% repayment rate.

Legal Highs campaign needs help to save lives.

Description

We run a national harm reduction campaign aimed at people that might use legal highs, new psychoactive substances and club drugs.I need some help to increase activity on social media to get our important messages out to yong people.  Particularly as (thankfully) these substances are still being sold in shops - legally until the government ban comes in next year.  There may be young people this summer who may try these substances before they get banned.  These substances have been linked to many hospitalisations and deaths.
