🌍 There are 1.5 billion adults in the world who face barriers to #FinancialInclusion. These people represent the “Last Mile”. Reaching the #LastMile isn’t just a moral imperative—it’s a catalyst for progress on many of the UN #SDGs.

Africa has the highest % of women entrepreneurs globally with more than 25% of businesses started and run by women. In comparison, Europe has a rate of just 5.7%. Invest in women. #FinEquityAfrica
Across Africa, millions of women remain financially excluded, with limited access to bank accounts, credit, and investment opportunities. Without financial inclusion, women entrepreneurs face barriers to scaling their businesses, building wealth, and driving economic growth. At the Graça Machel Trust, we are committed to elevating the strategic position of women across all sectors—enabling them to thrive as professionals, investors, entrepreneurs, and leaders. Our networks are at the heart of every initiative, driving lasting impact. #GraçaMachelTrust #FinancialInclusion
