Breaking Barriers: Alajo’s Commitment to Financial Empowerment for Everyone

In a world where financial stability often feels out of reach for millions, Alajo is making strides to change that narrative. As a personal finance solution tailored for low-income individuals, we are dedicated to creating a savings infrastructure that erases the barriers of internet access and financial illiteracy. Our mission is clear: to eradicate poverty and build wealth for all.

The Problem: Challenges Faced by Low-Income Individuals

Approximately 4 billion people live on less than $10 a day, and in Africa alone, around 600 million people earn less than $3.20 daily. These staggering statistics reveal the challenges faced by low-income communities, including:

• Difficulty Saving: Competing financial demands make personal savings a significant challenge.
• Distrust in Traditional Systems: Misappropriation by agents has led to a growing skepticism towards conventional saving methods.
• Limited Internet Access: Many cannot afford the resources needed for digital banking.
• Inefficient Traditional Systems: A lack of data and analysis hampers informed financial decision-making.
• Unaffordable Services: Access to essential financial products remains limited and costly.

Our Solution: Empowering Individuals with Simple Technology

Alajo tackles these challenges head-on by utilizing accessible technology like USSD, SMS, and IVR, combined with agent bankers in local communities. Our comprehensive services include:

• End-to-End Escrowed Savings Platform:Providing a secure space for savings.
