Did you know that women makeup about 80% of the farm labor in Kenya, but only hold title deeds to about 5% of the land? As they do not have collateral to borrow against, they are frequently excluded from the financial economy. That’s a problem not only for these women but for society at large.

Studies show that when women in developing countries are included, can manage their family’s finances, and have access to markets, they save more money than men and make better long-term financial decisions. One of the fastest-growing vehicles for financial inclusion is table banking.

Watch our Chat about table banking to learn how it works and see how Matsakha Development Group, our partner in Kenya, is using it to build more equitable futures for all of its members. And look out for a special guest appearance by a member of Women Enterprise Fund.
