Berna joined our savings group from day one with a dream and limited capital.

Cycle by cycle, she saved. Loan by loan, she invested. And today she owns a growing retail shop in Bulyasi that supports her family and her community.

This is what access does.

I’m in Oxford this week for the Skoll World Forum, including the Marmalade Festival and The Side Bar.

I am joining for the first time with both excitement and deep curiosity, and very much looking forward to the conversations ahead within this global social impact community!

What excites us every day is working directly with girls, co-creating solutions with them, not for them.

It is a new week, and we remain committed to listening, learning and building together with girls.
