The Levy Inspiration Grant Program, managed by the Entrepreneurship team at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, is an immersive funding program that allows students to travel to a place that they have (usually) never been to learn about big, gnarly problems that the world is facing and how those problems might be solved through entrepreneurship. When they return, each student sits down with us to share their newly-acquired knowledge with the community, allowing us to build an ever-growing collection of knowledge and stories. Join us as we follow the journeys of each of our students across the world where they live out the program's singular motto: go see for yourself.

Financial Inclusion in West Africa with Yanju Folarin
Ever since his experience in fintech at one of Africa's largest telecom companies, Yanju Folarin has been on a mission to increase financial inclusion in West Africa. To further investigate mobile money as a tool for increasing financial access, Yanju traveled to Nigeria, Ghana, and Benin to visit the hubs of financial activity in each location: the marketplaces. While there, he spoke with mobile money agents and the people that use their servcies in an attempt uncover any opportunities that could help unbanked people access financial tools that can help better their lives.
This is his Inspiration Grant story.
