KCB Group is seeking to deepen its new women proposition, committing billions of shillings towards funding women owned and women run enterprises.

The Bank said the drive is meant to strengthen its diversity and inclusivity focus as part of its sustainability agenda by simplifying financial inclusion for women.

The programme dubbed Women Value Proposition has seen the Bank disburse loans worth Kshs 7.1 billion to 1,400 women to date, KCB said in its current Sustainability Report for 2018.

It is aimed at increasing credit facilities to women alongside, providing them with both technical and non-financial support.
