Nigerians Taking Advantage of Decentralized Loans

Global climate change is continuing to test the world’s productivity, and it has already had a negative influence on Nigerians ability to maintain a minimum level of sustainable products production, as well as food security for a large portion of the population. Today, 100 million people in Africa are affected by numerous crises, catastrophes, and catastrophic levels of food insecurity, with the number of people affected rising by more than 60% between 2019 and 2020.

As a result, under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, social uplift has become a primary goal for environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) impact investing and worldwide interest (UNDP).

As public awareness of climate change grows, it becomes increasingly more critical to assist in bridging the gap between a strong global economy and less vibrant community-building projects.

Because millennials are becoming a more powerful force in the Nigerian economy, tapping into the cryptocurrency market, where many of these individuals are already active, could be the key to unlocking a new generation of economic opportunities and supporting African communities with a market worth over $2 trillion.

MELD has teamed with Tingo, a Nigerian telco, to develop low-interest microloans that would provide highly efficient decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing options.
