Fanta K (1st on left), featured borrower of Fanta K's Female Farmers, is a master farmer in Makennie village and has a large family of 10. She is a strong leader in the community, and leads the female youth farmer's group, helping young female farmers get their start.
She is a seasoned farmer who lost her business during the Ebola crisis as well as several extended family members. She refuses to give up despite losing a lifetime of work. She organised a large group of 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.
