Our Story
WomenSave was founded on the belief that goal-based savings can empower women who are underserved by the formal financial system. Inspired by years of experience in international development, our founder, Marie Mintalucci, recognized the need for a risk-free tool to enhance financial health. With support from Global Partners for Development, WomenSave conducted market research and launched a pilot project. In 2021, WomenSave became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United States and an international NGO in Uganda, ready to economically empower thousands of women sustainably.
