In my view, the role of microfinance in empowering Kenya’s women entrepreneurs is both significant and complex. On one hand, microfinance has opened doors for countless women who previously had limited opportunities to engage in economic activities. It has provided them with the tools to start businesses, improve their livelihoods, and contribute to their communities. On the other hand, to fully realize its potential, microfinance must address its shortcomings, including high-interest rates, limited loan sizes, and varying quality of financial education.
