There exists a gap that negatively impacts socio-economic outcomes for women and girls’ financial inclusion. There is increasing evidence that financial inclusion has a positive development impact by providing access to financial services to the poor (enterprise and household level) while contributing to sustainable development at the macro (financial sector) level. Financial inclusion plays an important role in improving the livelihoods of the poor as it enables them to start and run micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs); save and plan for the future; invest in themselves and their families; and increase their assets over time. It also helps to build household, domestic, and financial sector resilience and is an important contributor to sustained economic growth and  New Faces New Voices aims at bridging the funding gap in financing women-owned businesses in Rwanda and advocating for policy and legislative changes.
