Hello Everyone,
I'd like to welcome you back to Change for the 2017 Winter Quarter.
Please join us tomorrow for a talk and discussion about digital financial services for the poor. Jake Kendall will be joining us to to talk about the Digital Financial Service Innovation Lab <http://www.dfslab.net/> which is part of Caribou Digital <http://cariboudigital.net/>. His group is helping jump-start lots of exciting financial inclusion projects and recently conducted a design sprint in Dar es Salaam.
*Bio*
Jake is a visiting researcher in ICTD at UW CSE <http://dfs.cs.washington.edu/> focusing on fintech innovations for developing countries.

The DFSLab engages in seed stage investing and rapid prototyping of internally-generated ideas to create fintech innovations that will profitably bring households in developing countries from the cash economy into the digital financial realm.
