Why invest in SIKEWA

Five reasons that survive due diligence

Genuinely inclusive tech

2G USSD + voice SMS in local languages: the only approach that reaches non-literate and semi-literate people — the majority of the target group.

Vertical integration

From seed to diaspora export: added value stays inside the ecosystem instead of leaking to middlemen.

Assets already secured

2,500 m² titled plot (ACD No. 2025/ATD/0872), zero-rent headquarters in Kouakoukro, 50 pre-members mobilised.

Cooperative model

1 member = 1 vote: inclusion is not a marketing claim, it is the legal structure itself.

Traceable impact

The €1 = €15 formula is measured continuously by SIGNÉCONNECT CI: every funder report is built on real data.

National and continental scalability

The 2G USSD architecture works wherever rural Africa has a phone signal: the Agboville pilot is designed to scale across Côte d'Ivoire, then the continent.
