A loan helped a member to gain access to cost efficient hybrid seeds and fertilizer for maize cultivation and purchase a solar light.


Everline's Group's story

Everline is 32 years old, married, and has two children. She is described as a very friendly person. As a group leader, Everline is representing her group of 13 farmers in Chwele District in Kenya and is very excited to be working with One Acre Fund for the first time this year.

The decision to join One Acre Fund was largely a result of Everline's desire to have access to quality training and acquire new farming methods. Apart from receiving farming inputs, she is also purchasing a solar light as part of her loan, which is very exciting to her as she will now be able to reduce the consumption of paraffin fuel and, therefore, save more money. With the profits that she gains from this year’s harvest, she plans to send her children to school.

Everline and her group will receive a total of three solar lights as well as input loans of maize and fertilizer to plant a total of 6.5 acres.

In this group: Everline, Celestine, Chrispinus, Everline, Grace, Johnson, Everlyne, Metrine, Nabangala, Naomi, Perisilah, Repah, Robert


This loan is special because:

It supports smallholder farmers to purchase seeds and solar lanterns.
