Alice K (first from the right), featured borrower of Alice's All-Female Farmers Group, would like to sincerely thank all the Kiva lenders for their first and second loans. These loans enabled them to break free from the local lenders who were charging them nearly 100% interest. As a result, all group members have fully recovered their businesses.
Sierra Leone is currently experiencing a difficult time economically, with rising fuel and imported rice costs causing food shortages in some areas.
The Group would like to take advantage of this situation and increase their production further as rice prices are on the rise. Increasing production will greatly enhance members' livelihoods and also increase food supplies in Sierra Leone at a time when this is badly needed.
The Group is, therefore, asking for a third loan to expand their production, grow their businesses and increase local food security.
