In Aminata's community many women lost their savings and businesses during the crisis, and have now way to rebuild. With her spirit of determination, "Aunty Aminata" has mobilized a large group of these women for a KIVA loan and is both organizing them and mentoring them so that they can rebuild their livelihoods while increasing food production in the community. A KIVA loan to these determined women will enable them to rebuild their lives and their community after Sierra Leone's Ebola Crisis.
