Theme
Agriculture / Gender / Finance / Kenya
Context
Access to finance for smallholder farmers is often discussed technically. On the ground, it is deeply social and relational.
Approach
I documented women- and youth-owned Farmer Service Centers, spending time understanding daily operations, trust networks, and community dynamics.
Impact
The work informed research, policy dialogue, and program design around inclusive finance.
Lessons
Finance does not move without trust — and trust is built locally, not institutionally.
