A loan helped a member to pay for improved seed, organic inputs and tractor rental, which will allow these farmers to escape subsistence by farming a larger area with a higher yield.


Kadiatu's Female Farmers Group's story

Kadiatu K (first on left), featured borrower of Kadiatu's Female Farmers, is a Master Farmer in Makennie village and has a large family of eight. She is a strong leader in the community, and helps other women with their farming activities. She is a seasoned farmer who lost her business during the Ebola crisis but now refuses to give up despite losing a lifetime of work. As a result Kadiatu 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, Adamsay, Kadiatu, Jariatu, Isatu, Sallay, Mariatu, Ramatu, Ramatu, Kadiatu


This loan is special because:

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