# DataKind: Financial Inclusion & Economic Opportunity in Kenya 🇰🇪
**Libraries:** `matplotlib`, `seaborn`, `geopandas`, `pandas`, `numpy`
**Dataset:** [2024 FinAccess Household Survey](https://finaccess.knbs.or.ke/reports-and-datasets)
What are the key factors driving financial inclusion in Kenya today? To find out, I analysed data from 20,871 interviews from the 2024 FinAccess Household Survey.
🔎 **Key Insights:**
* 🏦 Financial exclusion remains widespread in Kenya
* Bank account ownership rates vary dramatically, from **92.5%** in Nairobi to just **44.1%** in West Pokot
* Youth are especially underserved: only **16.7%** of 15–19 year olds have a bank account
**A pathway to Inclusion:**
* 📈 There is a **strong correlation** between mobile phone ownership and access to financial services
* ⚡ A high-impact, scalable strategy: **expand** mobile access especially in rural areas and among young people
