Sita Devi used to walk several miles and cross a river to reach the nearest bank branch to her village in Bihar, India. Domestic responsibilities and long hours of inconvenient travel often discourage rural women like Sita from actively using financial services. Adopting digital channels can enable these rural women entrepreneurs to access critical financial services that can help them invest in their small businesses and supplement their household income. This International Day of #RuralWomen, we celebrate the resilience of rural women, who overcome several barriers to build thriving businesses, families and communities. Read how Sita Devi and others in her village are embracing digital channels to access financial services and grow their small businesses: https://lnkd.in/g-VmP8ud #RuralWomenDay #FinancialInclusion
