Cynthia Wandia is a Yale graduate who speaks 7 languages, is an official election observer for Venezuela and Cambodia and a serial entrepreneur.
Her business Kwara provides a beautiful digital banking experience for the savings and credits co-operatives in Sub Saharan Africa and South East Asia, where the formal banking system is not as common.
This community based banking system gives members an ability to save and borrow against their financial and social capital. Because SACCOS are non profits, the borrowing rates are very low.
There is $9bn of capital tied up in SACCOS in Kenya alone, and more than 50% of the country's GDP passes through these insitutions.
Cynthia is the epitome of a modern entrepreneur with a track record and set of credentials as impressive as her business.
