Most of us are used to savings and investments being the realm of banks and brokers. But for the masses in Uganda (and Sub-Saharan Africa) the banks are too far and too expensive and the local currencies a poor way to save.
Instead, savings often take the form of bricks to build a home or a few chickens to feed the children or now with Agro Supply, seeds for the next planting season.
CEO/founder Ogwal Joseph visits five of the 10,000+ farmers who use Agro Supply as a savings and investment account, pulling themselves up out of poverty in to the Ugandan middle class with the help of this innovative startup.
