A loan helped to buy seeds and fertilizers and to save and contribute to her children's schooling.


Salamata's story

Salamata has two children (the younger one is next to her in the photo): her first child goes to school.

She is a market gardener: she has been growing off-season crops for 9 years, in a district on the city outskirts.

She repaid her Kiva loan without difficulty and requested a new loan to buy seeds and fertilizers, so as to boost her production and meet her customers' demand on time.

With the profits from this loan she intends to expand her production and to save and contribute to her children's schooling.
