Faith-Aligned Digital Lending for Financial Inclusion in Uganda

Designing and testing faith-aligned digital lending tools to expand affordable finance for Ugandan micro-entrepreneurs.

Faith-Aligned Digital Lending for Financial Inclusion in Uganda builds and tests a culturally compliant micro-credit model for Muslim and other values-aligned entrepreneurs. Over the next year we’ll conduct 80+ interviews across five districts, co-design a low-cost no-code prototype to track loans and repayments, and formalize partnerships with mosques and civic groups. Our goal is a scalable “faith-aligned” product line ready to integrate into an asset-based digital lending platform.
