Microfinance Interventions and Empowerment of Women Entrepreneurs Rural Constituencies in Kenya
Summary. Microfinance institutions in rural Kenya provide credit, savings, and training services to women entrepreneurs. This study examined 80 microfinance members in Mogotio Constituency and found that microcredit and training significantly improved women's empowerment, while savings programs showed no significant effect. The findings support targeted microfinance interventions designed to strengthen women entrepreneurs in rural areas.
