Events Start Exploring FIW 2026 On-Demand Content!
As financial institutions seek new ways to advance inclusion, women school leaders offer a powerful example of why innovation must start with understanding the people financial systems are designed to serve. Across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, women who run low-cost private schools are expanding access to education in underserved communities, yet many remain excluded from the formal financial services needed to grow their schools and strengthen their impact.
Drawing on Opportunity EduFinance research from Kenya and other markets, our on-demand session explores the barriers that continue to limit women’s financial inclusion, including lack of collateral, limited access to formal banking relationships, irregular cash flows, and credit products that do not align with the realities of school businesses.
This year's on-demand content is now live! Register for FIW 2026 to access sessions and return throughout the week as we spotlight new conversations from practitioners, policymakers, and innovators around the world.
