Mama Pesa
Fintech
Millions of women globally face immense stress and hardship due to financial exclusion, often exacerbated by personal struggles like divorce. They lack access to essential financial services, hindering their ability to achieve financial independence and build resilience in the face of life's challenges. MamaPesa is a financial technology solution that provides unbanked female micro-entrepreneurs in rural Kenya with asset financing through credit, helping to lift their income beyond the minimum wage. MamaPesa is accelerating inclusive banking to address gender disparities in accessing asset finance.
This is a project with great social potential that shows how design can contribute to economic development and the empowerment of women. We suggest, however, that the designers do more to improve presentation or refer people to a website for more details.
