In many Kenyan households, girls grow up without receiving key financial education. Society often prepares boys for financial matters from an early age, teaching them to open bank accounts, invest and manage allowances. In contrast, girls are guided towards nurturing roles and rarely taught how to handle money.

This cultural neglect can become a burden when women find themselves managing households, running businesses or caring for families alone. In today's world, financial independence is demanded of both men and women, meaning that daughters need these skills as much as sons do.
