Jackfruit Finance

The starting point of Jackfruit Finance’s mission is that every child should have access to an education, independently of their circumstance – every child has the right to learn.

To achieve this mission, Jackfruit Finance helps schools grow and thrive, by offering affordable, accessible loans to private schools across Kenya. These loans are typically used to build classrooms, buy school buses, and more generally enable schools to improve their learning environment.

The founders of Jackfruit Finance take a regenerative view on how they achieve their objectives, working very closely within their communities to build capacity for societal growth, not just within the specific school learning environment.
