SARA'S STORY
Sara is married and blessed with cute and well-disciplined children. She has been farming for the last 12 years. Though she has gathered much experience in this business, she is not comfortable with the little she earns, having invested so much of her time and effort.
Sara has requested a loan from Juhudi Kilimo after realizing that they are in partnership with Kiva and that they are willing to help her realize her dreams. She will use the loan to buy farm inputs such as quality seeds and fertilizers to help improve her crop production and, through increased profits, assure her children of a secure future.
For a woman like Sara, accessing funds in Kenya, especially around the Nyamira area where she lives, is very challenging. Sara feels relieved knowing there are institutions that help enterprising women like herself. She is always working to improve her family’s living conditions, but her biggest dreams are to become independent and support her family by herself, secure her children’s future, and buy a home.
