Abstract: This study investigated the influence of income access on development of women self help groups (WSHGs) in North Nyakach Sub-County, Kisumu, Kenya. This study employed the descriptive research design to collect both qualitative and quantitative data with a sample size of 253 women drawn from 35 WSHGs. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics mainly frequency distribution, percentages and cross tabulation for the close ended questions while the open ended questions were analyzed qualitatively in the form of narration. It concluded that quite a number of women had benefitted from the income they accessed and resultantly, there was an improvement in their livelihoods because of their ability to save more. The researcher recommended that the government needs to support the WSHGS by making loans more accessible to the women and as well as offer training to the women on how best to put their income to use.
