Jackfruit Finance focuses on improving access to education in Africa by providing financial and technological support to low-cost private schools. Recognizing that families prioritize education alongside basic necessities, Jackfruit offers a platform that facilitates micro-loans for parents to cover school fees, alleviating the financial burden of upfront payments.

Schools serve as credit and collections agents, ensuring a streamlined repayment process.
