Selfina leases assets to women —more than 25,000 to date — so they can start their own businesses and eventually qualify for help from larger financial institutions. Earlier this summer, Kisyombe received the 2014 economic empowerment award from Vital Voices, an organization that began as a policy initiative in 1997 by then first lady Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to support women across the globe.
Kisyombe is the latest interviewee to join The Washington Post's "On Leadership" video series. In the video above, she talks about how she started Selfina and the leadership responsibility she feels toward the women in her country.
