Mayila's Female Farmers Group's story

Mayila, second on the right, featured borrower of Mayila's Female Farmers group, would like to sincerely thank all the Kiva lenders for their first loan. It enabled them to break free from the local lenders who were charging them nearly 100% interest. As a result of Kiva's loan, all of the group members have fully recovered their businesses. They have repaid their first loan and are successfully farming again after the devastation of Ebola. The group is now seeking a second loan to expand further. The profits will be used to ensure all member's children go to school.
