A loan helped to buy seed, fertilizer and diesel.


Ndeye's story

Madame Ndeye is a dynamic 43 year old woman who is married and the mother of eight children of which two are boys. She joined the village bank when it opened in 2012. Over the course of loan cycles, she has established profitable and sustainable work in market gardening.

She has had a location for several years where she conducts her work.

This loan will allow her to buy seed, fertilizer and diesel so that she can conduct her work and then harvest the crops to sell at the weekly markets.

Her work generates income and allows her to develop her business activities, save at the village bank and help her husband with the household expenses.

Translated from French by Kiva volunteer Esther Schmit.


This loan is special because:

It empowers women in rural and suburban Senegal.
