A loan helped to buy compost and ecological pesticides.


Miriam's story

Miriam is an 18-year-old farmer who grows potatoes. In the photograph we can see her with her crop. She learned how to farm at a young age because her parents were also farmers and she followed in their footsteps.

She asked for a loan from Sembrar Sartawi IFD in order to buy compost and ecological pesticides for her potato crop. This year she wishes to increase her production in order to be able to improve her income.

She likes the work that she does, as this is what she knows how to do best.
