Financial vulnerability in rural households is prevalent in many developing countries due to limited banking access, irregular incomes, and inadequate savings. Women Village Banks (WVBs), grassroots microfinance institutions led by women, play a crucial role in addressing these challenges by providing accessible credit, fostering financial literacy, and promoting entrepreneurship, particularly among women in remote areas. This study investigates the impact of WVBs on financial vulnerability in the Mangochi district of Malawi, focusing on income generation, savings behavior, and resilience against economic shocks. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach with surveys, in-depth interviews, and case studies, the research highlights the multifaceted contributions of WVBs to rural financial stability. A comprehensive literature review situates WVBs within the broader context of economic empowerment. The study employs rigorous data collection and analysis methods to ensure robust findings. Results indicate significant improvements in financial stability and community cohesion due to WVBs. The study concludes with recommendations to optimize the impact of WVBs, addressing issues like financial mismanagement and cultural barriers, and advocates for policies supporting sustainable rural development and gender equality.
