The WApp Solution

Based on United Nations Statistics Division population data and analysis by Loomba Foundation in 2018, of the 258 million widows worldwide,over 14.8% of them languish in deep poverty, whereas social and legal protection systems discriminate against them, lifetime earnings and saving restricted.1

•  Technological Challenge,  illiteracy,  ignorance of law, poor networking skills and lack of Community Networking are major detriments contributing to widows downfall. Highly deepening the level of poverty globally, thus the need of developing desirable programmes towards empowerment of widows by initiating community based projects that are acceptable, affordable and sustainable aimed at improving the welfare of widows socially and economically.

The WApp Solution, seeks to provide a solution by means of bringing together widows as a team, provide them with effective professional expertise inform of capacity building, viable connectivity and a working platform for easy monitoring and evaluation of different widows community based projects .

The solution has a potential of directly impacting lives of over 1 million widows in less than 5 years by providing effective working platform across communities and efficiently enhancing widows financial inclusion globally.

1 - Analysis by Loomba Foundation, The Global Widows Report 2015. London.

• Technological Challenge – Lack of technological informative information among widows within our communities is the major hindrance to widows willingness towards development. The most awful scenario being lack of total internet coverage among marginalized and un-reached communities.

• Poor and/ Lack of Widows Safety against Cultural Fundamentalism.
• Poor and/ lack of product marketing skills among widows. 
• Widows discrimination within communities.

• Technological Solution – By providing technical technological training inform of capacity building through regular assessment of group performance, assessment of individual use of the available online products and services on the Widows App. Initiating, supporting and providing awareness to the organized widow groups in marginalized and un-reached communities.
• Investment Opportunities – Promoting widows investment skills among group members through training and providing platforms that offer effective investment skills.
• Networking – Linking of widows from different geographical areas and promoting high level of networking among widow groups for accessing and provision of effective and efficient business transformational skills.
• Modern Agricultural Farming Techniques - Provide widows with modern agricultural farming skills through developed app where widows can be able to access farming skills, trainings and consultation.
  
• Micro-enterprise development – Provision of basic practice to promote micro-enterprises development especially small scale traders and formation widows empowerment initiatives.

• Market Research and Advertisement – Providing market research and advertising platform for widows products and services.

The WApp Solution has one main objective - to promote economic and social welfare development of widows and greater resilience, vulnerable widow groups (esp. child widows ‘silence and unheard’, neglected and displaced widows). Invisibly in statistics, child widows are often denied their inheritance rights, evicted from their homes and in the absence of any social security, they are exploited by others, usually their own family members. 

The primary target beneficiaries comprises of widows across the global with focus to local communities in Kenya. They will include:

• Widows and their children living in absolute poverty
• Child widows including orphans and ethnic minorities
• Widows and their children living with HIV/AIDS
• Widows and their children living in slum urban areas
• Marginalized Widows and their children living in rural areas
• Widows whose husbands were killed in conflicts and wars
• Widows  who  have  been  rejected  with  their  communities  because  of   their widowhood status.

Address widows plight through;

Financial Inclusion:2

Major impact the WApp Solution will have in widows life within the communities is through implementation of Widows Financial Inclusion Programmes.

Widows financial inclusion occurs when widows have effective access to a range of financial products and services that cater to their multiple business and household needs which are responsive to the socioeconomic and cultural factors that cause financial exclusion in women and men to have different characteristics.   

Effective management of  financial inclusion will increase the empowerment of widows in different ways including;

• Increase opportunities to earn an income or control assets outside the household.
• Having access to resources on their own account and to the tools that help them to earn a living can increase women’s bargaining power within households and their influence over how money and other resources are used.
• Reduce widows vulnerability, for example, by allowing them to insure against risk or borrow to meet unexpected expenses, such as medical treatments.

Agriculture:

Agriculture is the backbone of the world’s economy.

Agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools to end extreme poverty, boost shared prosperity and feed a projected 9.7 billion people by 20503. Growth in the agriculture sector is two to four times more effective4 in raising incomes among the poorest compared to other sectors. Analyses in 2016 found that 65 percent of poor working adults5 made a living through agriculture.

Agriculture is also crucial to economic growth: in 2018, it accounted for 4 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) and in some developing countries, it can account for more than 25% of GDP6. 

The WApp Solution developed apps will enable widows have increased access to agricultural information including consultation services for improved agricultural output. 

The challenge of agriculture productivity in emerging markets is best illustrated by the gap between the agricultural labour force and the agriculture sector’s contribution to GDP. In emerging markets around the world (Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America), just under 50% of the labour force is active in agriculture (on average), yet agriculture contributes to only about 10% of GDP.7 

  Issues and policies affecting Women Entrepreneurship: 

Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development -OECD notes that;

• There is need to promote the development of women entrepreneur networks because these are major sources of knowledge about women’s entrepreneurship and valuable tools for its development and promotion. Co-operation and partnerships between national and international networks can facilitate entrepreneurial endeavours by women in a global economy.
• Networks are important because our actions are shaped by our social context, consisting of the system of individuals with whom we interact.

Research has shown the importance of social support through role models and close private relationships with people in the small business community5 and through case studies has tried to describe the process leading to new venture creation .6

The individual’s network provides the emotional support, social persuasion and vicarious experience, which are central to whether or not a person engages in entrepreneurship and does so successfully.

 Furthermore, the social network provides different useful resources for both the aspiring and practising entrepreneur in the form of instrumental and financial assistance; such as experience, know-how, encouragement, financing and idea generation .7 

  BENEFITS:   

Major benefits which the WApp solution seek to deliver on the overall objective being;

• Accelerated trade and collaboration nationally and across-borders.

• Empowering women in the economy highly closes on gender gaps in the world of work which are key to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, to achieve gender equality and Goal 1 on ending poverty, Goal 2 on food security, Goal 3 on ensuring health, Goal 8 on promoting full and productive employment and decent work for all, Goal 9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure and Goal 10 on reducing inequalities.
• Promoting the Economy. When more women work, economies will grow. Widows economic empowerment shall boosts productivity, increases economic diversification and income equality in addition to other positive development outcomes.
• Increasing women educational attainment that contributes to women economic empowerment and more inclusive economic growth. Educating widows, up skilling and re-skilling over the life course – especially to keep pace with rapid technological and digital transformations affecting jobs are critical for widows health and wellbeing, as well as their income-generation opportunities and participation in the formal labour market.

Nambula Buchiro Women Group under guidance of WApp Solution development team is working with widows from Samia - Busia County in Kenya towards effective achievement of widows access to digital solution for purposes improving widows welfare within communities by means of being able to access different informative information on a single platform.  

The team is focused on ensuring that widows from vulnerable and marginalized communities are able to access information that will spur them towards economic, social and personal development. Determined to building a platform capable of serving all widows regardless of their educational level, status and/ economic background through the support of community development team and widows self help groups.   

The solution address opportunities of enabling widows from different places; communities, villages, countries and regions being able to share information on a single platform effectively supporting one another and highly contributing towards social and economic development.

The WApp Solution focus on widows online technological support, monitoring and evaluation of widow community based projects. A solution through which widows from different communities will be able to be reached through a developed Widows App and use of Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD).

Through small managed widows groups of NOT more than seven (7) members, widows will be able to access either online or offline technological support through a developed widows App and use of USSD.The group(s) will be registered upon verification on existence of widow(s) group upon security verification mechanism and registration protocols.

Registered group members will be able to access Widows App service though login link (password & user ID’s verified), services will be accessible from any part of the community globally provided  a team has either;

• Smart phone to access Widows App on goggle drive or
• Any mobile phone that can be used to access USSD services.

Currently,  Numbula Buchiro Women Group comprise of 210 widows operating under (15 widow groups with average of 14 members per group, working in a cluster of 7 members) an umbrella of a community based organization.

The WApp solution targets to pilot the project with the team who we are currently working with.

The WApp solution is expected to serve between 1,000 – 5,000 widows within one year on launching the App and over 1 million widows within five years depending on technical support to widow groups and programme implementation in different regions.

The expected projection is likely to surpass the number because of group enrollment mechanism where existing sub-group(s) will be able to enroll new group(s) to a maximum of three groups capable of monitoring and providing due conscientiousness, thus, increasing the number of members and/ groups.

Depending on predicted/ projected at lower percentage increase of 5% system understanding and/ on the use of technology, there is likelihood of impact on high rate of increase in number of widows and/ widow groups upon understanding the application and benefits of widows App.

Expected increase at 5%

The number is significantly expected to rise on effectual understanding of the App and use by team members and subsequent acknowledgement of the platform by beneficiaries. 

Considering 2019 Kenya census data, estimates from statistical report indicates that only Busia County has approximately 233,701 widows, whereas Isiolo, the least populated county in Kenya has over 64,242 widows.(19)
