MA'AT IS A REVOLUTIONARY COLLECTIVE CREDIT SYSTEM

by the farmers for the farmers

VISION

Ma'at is a credit system for peasant agroecology to develop blooming ecologies and economies.

Ma'at is about creating a myriad of interconnected collective funds, locally managed.

Ma'at’s vision is about farmers living with dignity and pride, able to invest in their farms and communities, receiving a fair price for what they produce.

 

THE NAME MA’AT comes from an Egyptian goddess

She was the goddess of harmony, justice, and truth. The significance of Ma’at embraces all aspects of existence, including the basic equilibrium of the universe, the cycle of the seasons, honesty, and truthfulness in social interactions. The ancient Egyptians had a deep conviction of an underlying holiness and unity within the universe

MISSION

 

Ma'at's mission is:

to offer peasants a credit system that allows them to invest individually and collectively without the risk of losing their assets.

to increase autonomy and self-determination, and to accompany farmer groups in the use of the credit system until they can self-manage and self-replicate.
