A loan helped a member to pay for improved seed, organic inputs and tractor rental which will allow these farmers to escape subsistence by getting higher yields from better seeds and fertilizers.


Kadiatu's Female Farmers Group's story

Kadiatu K (1st on left), featured borrower of Kadiatu's Female Farmers, is a Master Farmer in Kolisokoh village and has a large family of 12. She is passionate about education and helps organize the village's children for school when they can afford it, and also helps train young female farmers.

Kadiatu is a seasoned farmer who lost her business during the Ebola crisis but now refuses to give up despite loosing a lifetime of work. She has organised a large group of other women who similarly had prospered before the crisis, lost everything but now will not give up.

All members are currently trapped in a cycle of subsistence and take extremely high-interest loans for poor quality inputs during planting time. A no-interest Kiva loan will therefore enable this group of determined women to get back on their feet and back in business.

In this group: Kadiatu, Isatu, Abibatu, Kadiatu, Marie, Abie, Rugie, Isatu, Mary, Fatu


This loan is special because:

It enables farmers to access farm inputs to improve their yield for increased income.
