We (sargo.io) are in full support and have been supporting Dr Abdul at Lukenya University on this implementation of the Sarafu.Network.
What we’ve really come to appreciate about the Sarafu network is the way it flips the traditional model of credit and liquidity on its head. Instead of depending on centralized issuance from a bank, Sarafu provides a trusted anchor that allows the community itself to begin issuing credit based on the real goods and services they have to offer. That credit then circulates in a sustainable way — repayments feed back into the pool, which in turn allows more credit to be extended, more shops to accept it, and more students to access what they need to pursue their education. It’s a circular system that keeps growing stronger the more it’s used, and that’s a big part of what makes Sarafu so unique and impactful.
Excited to see how such localised coordination can be scaled. Serving as an access point to wider DeFi.
