The lady raising her hand in the photo is Sela. She is 66 years old, married and blessed with six children. She is a member of Kiseveni Women Group which joined Hand in Hand Eastern Africa in the year 2014 and has benefited from enterprise development and financial management training.
She is a mixed farmer. She is borrowing a Kiva loan to buy seeds and fertilizer. She hopes this will increase her production, hence increasing her income. She will therefore use the anticipated income to provide food, clothing, medical care and to pay school fees for her children.
She is grateful to Kiva and their lenders for the financial support and promises to repay promptly.
