¼ of the world’s women lack access to financial services. This is one of the major barriers facing women entrepreneurs in marginalised communities across the world.

If we don’t take time to understand the female entrepreneurs, we will lose out of a lot of untapped power

According to research from the Bank of New York Mellon, giving women better access to finance could unlock $330 billion in annual global revenue.
