In Somalia, the rotating saving and credit groups (Ayuuto) permeate many aspects of socioeconomic and cultural life, as they are often a safety net for MSMEs and families to fall back on during crises—in the present of unfair or abusive lending due to MSMEs being in the state of being without sufficient of collateral required and interest charges, even in the Islamic financing system, which has significant charges as well.

“We believe it's important to design a technology that matches their values of efficiency, flexibility, integrity, and simplifies the complexity of the banking system through traditional culturally saving schemes. With their financial well-being in mind, through our partnership–Green String Network Network, we take the time to get to know MSMEs through financial therapy tailored to their individual needs.”

Saving up for their business or individual needs by focusing on their day-to-day expense and revenue habits through family, friends, and community exercises while becoming aware of their financial patterns, they can acquire the Onkout tools they need to rewire poor decisions into rewarding money practices that last a lifetime.

financial literacy tools that give opportunities to be confident and empowers to live the quality of life that they are striving towards.

Thinking of building a business? Here are some questions you would need to think about. What do you want to do? What are you good at doing? Focus on that. It may be one thing, it may be two or three, or it may be to expand from a wooden–table street corner shop into a wooden–aluminium–roofing sheet.

Onkout is big on MSMEs growth, whether it's increasing revenue stream through building customer loyalty and security into your brand in ways that are authentic to MSMEs culture, New Creative Space, powered by Onkout.

When it’s to go big – whether it’s going from wooden–table street corner shops to brick-and-mortar, efficiency, flexibility, or all of the above–MSMEs need the right technology, not a technology.

The dynamic realm of Somali Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) serves as a testament to the unwavering resilience, innovative thinking, and unwavering resolve of a nation that steadfastly refuses to allow its challenges to define its identity. These enterprises serve as more than mere economic entities; they play a pivotal role in shaping a promising future for Somalia's Micro-Economie.
