Series 1 - Episode 5: Money Makes the World Go Round

Flo’s dreams of growing her agribusiness hit a major roadblock when the bank rejects her loan application—just because the land she farms on isn’t in her name. Despite having a solid plan and proven returns, she's dismissed as “high-risk.” But when Johnny steps up and offers his boda boda as collateral, Flo gets another shot—and a spark of an idea: start a chama or Sacco with her peers. Could this be the key to sustainable farming finance? This episode highlights the real struggles women face in accessing credit—and how community, unity, and creativity can be powerful solutions.
