The Problem

Jumuisha tackles the significant issue of limited access to financial services in Sub-Saharan Africa, where 40% of the population lacks formal financial access. This problem is particularly pronounced in rural areas, which make up 59% of Africa’s population. Distance and lack of trust in financial institutions are key barriers, with 27% citing distance and 14% citing trust issues as reasons for not adopting formal financial services. This gap exacerbates poverty, hinders economic development, and perpetuates financial inequality

The Solution

Jumuisha addresses this problem by leveraging trusted community networks, particularly churches, to deliver essential financial services. Our platform integrates a range of services, including microinsurance, microloans, and digital products, directly within these communities. By partnering with over 300 churches, Jumuisha effectively reaches rural and underserved populations, overcoming the barriers of distance and trust. Our Digital Tithing Initiative allows congregants to make contributions easily via Jumuisha Pay, enhancing financial transparency and accountability. This approach ensures that financial tools are both accessible and tailored to the specific needs of these communities. The outcome is increased financial inclusion, economic empowerment, and resilience for underserved populations.

Technology has allowed us to reach people in ways we never imagined before. Through online sermons, social media, and live streaming, we can connect with individuals beyond the walls of the church, spreading the message of hope and love to a wider audience.
